How\u2019d you like to build a company with a 90% offer acceptance rate? With near-perfect employee retention? And with 50% of employees comprised of under-represented minorities?

Sean Byrnes has done it (and the company doesn\u2019t interview candidates\u2026 at all)

Based in San Francisco, he\u2019s Founder & CEO of Outlier, the VC-funded business intelligence company.

His customers are large consumer-facing companies with an\xa0
immense amount of data.

Outlier watches all of your business data & lets you know when unexpected things are happening, anywhere in the myriad metrics and dimensions of your data.\xa0

Outlier plugs into your business data where it lives (e.g. Google Analytics, Adobe Cloud, Salesforce, Stripe, SQL databases) and understands your business cycles, trends and patterns.

Clearly, he\u2019s onto something. Outlier\u2019s investors include: SV Angel, Capital One Growth Ventures, Emergence, First Round Capital, Susa Ventures, Ridge Ventures, In-Q-Tel, and Homebrew

Prior, he served as Founder/CEO of Flurry, the mobile analytics company, which was acquired by Yahoo.

In this 20-minute conversation, Sean reveals how he puts a Rockstar in every seat (and how he keeps them)
