We'll keep things fairly informal, but will make sure to cover the following:
Introductions and brief spotlights on Eric Bleke and Loren Eckart, two serial entrepreneurs who have successfully scaled and exited multiple B2B software companies, to kick off the conversation.
Roundtable discussion focused on where founder-led selling quietly stalls growth and how executives are balancing AI and the right people to build a revenue engine that produces consistently beyond the founder.
Q&A and best practice collaboration on turning what works in the founder's head into repeatable team habits and systems that grow revenue without adding unnecessary complexity.
Eric is a serial entrepreneur and operator with more than three decades of building, scaling, and exiting technology companies. He co-founded internet-security pioneer Technologic, later acquired by eSoft, and went on to serve as Chief Executive Officer of customer-experience platform ENGAGEcx, partnering with Cisco and HP/Aruba to reach global brands.
He has since held President, COO, and senior sales leadership roles across enterprise software companies including Coginiti, Lucid Scientific, and StarPound Technologies. Today he is Managing Partner at Venadar, an Atlanta corporate growth and M&A firm whose team has driven measurable results for more than forty Fortune 500 companies, and he holds an MBA from the University of Georgia.

He build Premier Logic into a full-service digital firm recognized on the INC 500 and INC 5000 before its sale to global engineering leader ALTEN. He now leads Vision Growth Labs, embedding with executive teams to turn strategy, technology, and go-to-market execution into measurable revenue, and holds an MBA from Georgia Tech's Scheller College of Business.
