About Aaron Godert

I am a proven entrepreneur and technical leader with experience spanning consumer, social, banking, nonprofit, higher education, and consulting industries. As the founder of a company, I successfully built and scaled an organization with a remarkable culture, growing it from the ground up to over 60 employees and achieving $10 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). I have raised several rounds of angel and institutional funding, acquired a company, and successfully exited through a strategic acquisition followed by a private equity roll-up.My extensive business experience has enabled me to lead comprehensive teams across various functions, including product, engineering, customer success and support, project management, finance, sales, marketing, and account management. As a general manager, I engage in hands-on roles to establish and launch new organizational functions, demonstrating capability to dive deep into the operational aspects.My technical expertise lies in architecting and developing large-scale, distributed software systems in the cloud, as well as in building and leading teams to innovate and maintain these systems over the long term. Additionally, I\'m an educator focused on helping entrepreneurial-minded people adopt lean product development methodologies to validate customer discovery.
