S8 Bonus: Shattering MVP Pitfalls: Engineering Disciplined, Scalable Architectures for Early-Stage Startups with Max Walker, Co-Founder of Piton Labs
Jul 26, 2023 · Season 8 · 32 min
Your early stage product partner
Max Walker lives in Eastern Upstate NY (or Vermont light, as he calls it), with his grumpy, elderly cat. He comes from a tech background, graduating with a computer science degree, and working as a software engineer. Along the way, he fell in love with entrepreneurship, and dove into the startup world. Outside of tech, he is an avid rock climber, hiker, and loves super spicy food as a vegetarian.
Max is a startup veteran, and given he had gone down the building and fundraising route, he wanted to do something a bit different. What he really loved was the building, messy beginning - so he built a business around that early stage.
This is the creation story of Piton Labs.
