"1 to 1000" | Scaling Startups with CEOs

There's a vast, often unspoken, gap between a company's first customer and its thousandth. 1 to 1000 lives in that messy, exhilarating space. Hosts Jack Altman and Erik Torenberg, through Turpentine, have created a series dedicated entirely to the art and arduous labor of scaling. This isn't about startup myths or founder lore; it's a practical, ground-level examination of the operational realities that leaders face when momentum begins to build. Each conversation moves beyond theory to tackle the specific, sometimes uncomfortable, decisions required to grow. You'll hear CEOs who have been through it discuss the nuances of managing a team that's rapidly evolving, how to position a company when entering a crowded market, and the delicate balance of nurturing different tiers of talent within an organization. The value of this podcast lies in its focus on the phase where most ventures either find their footing or falter, offering a rare archive of hard-won experience from those currently navigating the climb.
