Robert Tinker is the former CEO of MobileIron from initial founding to over $150M in revenue, including being named the #1 fastest growing tech company from 2010-2014 by Deloitte’s Fast 500 Index. Like most startup CEOs, Bob doesn’t really care all that much about general theories. He wants to charge up the hill, knock down problems, bring the team together, and build a great business. He wants to know how to make good decisions, deal with tough issues, and stay one step ahead. In that sense, he is representative of founder-CEOs, who, unlike investors, are fully committed to a single mission and don’t have a portfolio to fall back on. Bob likes to cut to the takeaway for the entrepreneur.

Bob Tinker, Survival to Thrival: Building the Enterprise Startup - Book 1 The Company Journey

“Enterprise PMF isn’t just about adoption and usage. It’s also about paying reference customers. That is, good customers who (1) pay you money, (2) actively use your product, and (3) are willing”
