For more than six years, Alex Schultz has been working with the growth team at Facebook to expand the service around the world. Alex and his team came up with some of the insights and scaled solutions that enabled Facebook to thrive in places where there were entrenched market leaders, low bandwidth networks, and other challenges. On the investor side, Foundation Capital has consistently backed startups that grew into market leaders, such as Netflix and SunRun. General partner Steve Vassallo will join Alex to share the stories behind their growth experiences across multiple industries and outline what it takes to get a billion users to adopt a product.
