The final guest of Season 2 is the incredible Mallun Yen! 

 Mallun Yen has devoted the past 20 years to changing the status quo and shifting industry norms, as an enterprise executive, operator, and category-creator. These experiences laid the groundwork for Operator Collective, a venture fund and community she founded in 2018 to make venture accessible to a group critical to a startup’s success but largely left out: top operators from diverse backgrounds who have built and scaled the most admired companies in the world. Prior to founding Operator Collective, Mallun was at the forefront of other category-creating companies also rooted in community, including RPX ($0-$100M and IPO in 3 years), SaaStr (worlds’ largest b2b software community), ChIPsNetwork.org (4,000 members and 17 chapters around the world).

So many pieces of advice from Mallun’s personal experience in this episode. Enjoy!

Amanda’s experience as a Division I basketball player in college helped her realize that she always wanted to have some connection to athletics. As she progressed into coaching basketball, she realized the one thing in her life that wasn’t where she wanted it to be: her social scene. Her (poor) experience with dating apps inspired her to start her own company with Playoff - a dating app for current and former athletes! She took her personal struggle and decided to start her own venture.

As a Partner at Operator Collective and Co-Founder of the Black Venture Institute, Leyla Seka continues to be at the forefront of solving deep inequalities, specifically addressing the homogeneity that is seen in the income cycle and funding for companies. However, Leyla’s innate conviction for impact came through before, especially during her time as an Executive Vice President at Salesforce, where she led an equal pay initiative that kicked off Salesforce's company-wide salary review, that ultimately corrected the gender-pay disparities. 

We cover so much in this amazing episode --- from the changes Leyla made in order to get promoted, her candid and straightforward approach as the only woman in the room, to her mindset when she discovers a “big, nasty” problem that she needs to address. Hint: It’s all about the people!
