At TechCrunch All Stage 2025 on July 15 in Boston, Jon McNeill, CEO and co-founder of DVx Ventures (and former president of Tesla and COO of Lyft), will take the Scale Stage to flip the script on conventional startup growth advice.
His session, “The Operator’s Playbook for Building and Scaling Sustainable Companies,” explores why the next generation of enduring companies will be built differently — by operators who validate both product and go-to-market strategy before lighting the growth fuse.
