Welcome to The Brydge Club podcast! I'm your host, Ruffin, and today I’m excited to be joined by Miri Buckland, COO and co-founder of Landing, soon to be rebranded as Zeen. Miri co-founded Landing alongside her Stanford Business School classmate, Ellie, and together they’ve scaled the product to nearly 1 million downloads and raised over $9 million in venture capital from investors like Cowboy Ventures and Defy Ventures. In this episode, Miri dives into the journey of building a high-growth tech startup, shares key lessons on knowing when to pivot, and offers practical advice for those applying to business school. She also reveals insider strategies for running a successful fundraising round. I hope you enjoy!
