Description

What if the real secret behind Netflix’s success wasn’t movies… but data?

In this episode of Demo Day, Sean Goldfaden sits down with Petra Griffith, Managing Director at Wedbush Ventures and a former product leader at Netflix and Yahoo, to uncover the hidden strategies that helped Netflix rise to the top—and the lessons every founder needs to know.

Petra shares:
- How Netflix became a data company (and why most startups overlook this advantage)
- The traits great founders share and the red flags that make VCs say no
- Why market pull matters more than your idea (and how to know if you’ve found it)
- The #1 mistake early-stage founders make when trying to scale
