Large reason for joining a startup is to grow. If you join the right team - you can have an incredible experience, learn a ton, and have a fuller life. Big part of these experiences are the founders. You are betting on the founders.

My name is George and I am one of the founders. So why bet on me? Here’s why:

• Experience building and scaling: With an A+ team of ~80, I built/sold a business to a F500 company for >$100M. 3.5xed $ARR in 2 years after the acquisition all while staying massively profitable. Built >20 moonshot products where it was me and 2-3 others. No large teams. Prior to Streamlabs, I built/led large parts of the Minecraft franchise and had a # of start-up failures. I learned a lot over last 17 years, have the scar tissue to show for it, and am pouring all of this experience into us.
• Work ethic and pain tolerance: I will work harder than most. I will do everything I can to warp the world so that we deliver on our mission. No worries - I don’t expect most to match my intensity, but my point is that you want to be at a place where the founders are all in and not checked out. Anton (co-founder) and I are all in.
• Chip on shoulder: I am a first generation immigrant (came to U.S. when I was 14 without parents). Had to fight and adapt. Got to where I am mostly because of what I did rather than what was “given” to me.
• Experience doing most functions: I’ve done most roles on the team from product to ops to CX to marketing to design to sales and dev. You get it. I’ve also played poker for a living. As a result, I can draw on lessons from different disciplines to help us win and we can grind for a long time without hiring a big team (a mistake we will avoid).
• Clear goals: There are 2 reasons for why Anton and I started this company: (1) to build iconic services that solve real problems and (2) to create a company/culture where people do their best work and have an incredible experience building. This is not about us. Our company is one of the products we will ship as a team. So even if we fail, which we may, this chapter will be a bright chapter for the team from learning and personal growth POV. We will do everything we can to take care of the team. All Anton and I care about are these 2 goals (business/customer growth and teammate growth). Nothing else. And we will do everything in our power to achieve them.
• Principles and values: Overtime I’ve developed a set of principles for how to do X and values for how to operate. These principles are a result of pain and mistakes I made so these are more than empty quotes. So what? These principles matter because there is a strong tribal compass in the company and an approach to solving problems. We won’t get lost. We believe that all problems can be solved.

Let’s go!
