Episode #42: Building the Community for RevOps - Matt Volm
A repeat founder's journey helping grow the RevOps profession
This week I sit down with Matt Volm, founder of RevOps Co-op, a vibrant community for RevOps pros. (They also have a ton of great educational resources, well worth checking out.)
He shares his journey as a repeat founder, who has taken the roller-coaster of building multiple startups, and reflects on the tenacity and toughness it requires.
RevOps Co-op actually started as a community in support of a software company, but when Matt saw the need for more education and resources for the RevOps field, he pivoted and hasn't looked back.
During our chat we discuss:
the crucial interplay between finance and RevOps
how RevOps pros can build their finance acumen
living through the tech bubble
the hot debate on unified vs. split RevOps functions
the community-led business model
what the future holds for RevOps
and much more

This November, MOps-Apalooza is back in sunny, Anaheim, California, and it's going to be the marketing ops event of the year, packed with hands-on learning from real practitioners.
This is the only truly community-led tech-agnostic MOPS conference out there. It's got the best speakers, the best networking, the best social events, and maybe even a trip to Disneyland. This isn't your 50,000 person tech company conference. It's an intimate gathering of folks who are in the trenches every day.
Registration is capped at 700 attendees, and tickets are going fast.
