Leaders, Sundar represents the fastest growing segment of the freelance economy...mid level top performers with impressive logos choosing to freelance or build for the freelance economy rather than continue as a Director or above role.

Prior we had Angie Moody who was a top performer at Microsoft, Visa, and Instagram. Then Ernie Park, a top performer at Hubspot. Now Sundar, a Carnegie Mellon grad and top performer at Uber and ready for it...a debt manager at the US Treasury.

A couple of things that really hit me:

  • Sundar views freelancing as the path to best support his family rather than the typical "I need the safety of a job."
  • Sundar works with post PMF B2C Marketplaces helping Series A-C make more profitable decisions through analytics and experimentation.
  • Sundar chooses to freelance for the autonomy, flexibility, and impact he can make.
  • Sundar views the freelance journey as... year 1 = existing network, year 2 = referrals, year 3+ = have to turn away business.

  • Enjoy!
