Yaakov Zar is the founder & CEO of Lev, a workflow and data platform for commercial real estate that’s raised over $200M since it’s funding just 3 years ago. Before that he co-founded home services company Dispatch, which was acquired by private equity firm Vista Equity in 2018.
In this episode, Yaakov walks us through the ups and downs - and then downs and ups - of the Lev story. From raising a $70M Series C to laying off half the team just a few months later, he shares in detail the decisions and factors that shaped Lev’s trajectory.
This is one you won’t want to miss!
