Electric CEO: Pivot After Five Years of Triple-Digit Growth, Do It While Cash Is Plentiful
DenehyXXL · x · 2026-10-23
A podcast excerpt featuring Electric co-founder and CEO Ryan Denehy on why he chose to transform the company despite five consecutive years of triple-digit growth and $200 million in total funding. Key points: on the surface the company looked fine, but digging deeper revealed plenty of hidden risks; "what got the company here won't get it to the next stop"; major change is best made while cash is plentiful, not when you're six months from running out and have tried nothing.
