Watch our exclusive interview with Jeremy Epling, Chief Product Officer of Vanta.
Vanta has raised over $500M at a valuation of more than $4B, while growing incredibly fast. So we decided to explore how it #scaled so quickly.
We started by discussing what sets Vanta apart in such a competitive market. As Jeremy explained, it comes down to #automation, deep integrations, a unified view of risk, and strong first-mover advantage.
A few staggering numbers: Vanta has 400 #integrations, 1,300 automated tests, and ships around 25 new #features every month!
To move at that pace, the company advocates for fewer decisions by #committee and more decisive action. We explored how that philosophy actually works in practice while scaling quickly.
Interestingly, in the bureaucratic #GRC space - we discussed why product #design is crucial to Vanta’s success, the dynamics between designers and product managers and how it all comes down to a fundamental question:
Is the solution a #vitamin or a painkiller?
Lastly, we touched on several fascinating topics:
- What Jeremy looks for when hiring PMs
- The metrics he monitors most closely
- Mentorship advice for careers in product and design
And guess what Jeremy’s favorite #movie is? 🎳😎🎬
