Welcome back to GrepBeat’s “The Side Quest!” Our show hosted by the GrepBeat Godfather Joe Colopy.

For this weeks' episode our host sat down with Erik Troan of Pendo, where he has been CTO for over a decade. He talks about his journey entering the Triangle startup scene in the 90's and seeing the vision of Pendo early in its inception. It is a great episode, from conversation around diving to conversation about how to find the right cofounder! You won't want to miss it. 🤿
