📝 EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Arvind Jain had already built a unicorn. He could have stopped there. But when he saw his own team drowning in information they couldn't find, losing hours every day to questions no one could answer, he couldn't ignore it. He started over from scratch. That became Glean, now valued at $7 billion. His edge wasn't a bigger model or a better deck. It was focus, and the refusal to build what someone else was already building well. 00:00 Intro 01:32 Why I Started Over After a Unicorn Company 03:48 The 2-Year Stealth Mode That Built $7B 08:04 Build Less, Win More EO stands for Entrepreneur& Opportunities.
