Eli Portnoy is the CEO of BackEngine and a serial entrepreneur who previously founded and successfully exited two companies, including Sense360 (acquired by Medallia) and Thinknear (acquired by Telenav).
Tune in as Eli tells us the exact moment - at a hackathon with his team - when he realized he wasn’t the right CEO for what they were building at Sense360, and how that triggered the realization on what they should actually build…which led to their acquisition by a public company.
