TechCrunch Live records weekly at noon Pacific.

This TechCrunch Live event was a little different. Frederic Kerrest (Okta) and Mathilde Collin (Front) are both co-founders of their respective companies, but Kerrest is also an investor, and participated in Front’s Series C alongside other industry leaders like Michael Cannon-Brooks from Atlassian, Eric Yuan from Zoom, and Jared Smith from Qualitics.

Hear the story of how Mathilde convinced Kerrest to invest in Front, and what she feels are the advantages of having operators as investors.

Mathilde brought along Front’s Series C pitch deck, and explained the background and thought-process of several slides. But this isn’t the first time she shared the deck. Following Front’s Series A, B, and C, she published the pitch decks on Medium.

This week’s guest is Ayal Yogev, co-founder and CEO of Anjuna Security, who has experienced both sides of the startup journey: scaling quickly during the boom years and then making the incredibly difficult decision to lay off a significant portion of his team when the market shifted.

From growing to 75 employees to scaling back and rebuilding, Yogev learned firsthand that the hardest part of leadership isn’t hiring fast, it’s making tough decisions with care, transparency, and integrity.

In this episode, Isabelle Johannessen and Yogev unpack what it really means to lead through layoffs with compassion and how founders can support their teams even in the most challenging moments. They also explore the lessons learned from scaling too quickly and how to build a more resilient company the second time around.
