On the first morning of TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2018, TechCrunch Editor-in-Chief Matthew Panzarino interviewed Drew about his journey from that first demo in 2008 to the IPO and beyond. “As a founder, it’s important to begin with the end in mind,“ Drew said, explaining that you need to understand how your fundamentals as a private company will translate if you go public.
