Episode notes

The journey from aerospace engineering at NASA to serial entrepreneur isn’t a well-trodden path but it’s one that’s worked for Adam Markowitz. In this episode of The SaaS Revolution Show, Alex Theuma talks with the Drata Co-founder and CEO about the journey from NASA, to edtech, to Drata and how lessons at each stage led him to the next. From finding product-market fit and executing at speed, to building a culture of trust and timing the market just right, Adam shares the learnings behind Drata’s rapid rise from $0-100M ARR in four years.
