Not many people know that Evan Frank introduced our now-managing partners Carlos Espinal and Reshma Sohoni to each other during Seedcamp\u2019s infancy. Even fewer are aware that Reshma was his first boss in NYC. And virtually no one (likely not even the Seedcamp Team) knows that Evan was single-handedly responsible for onboarding Seedcamp onto Gmail. \nBut Evan Frank\u2019s accomplishments far surpass his influence on Seedcamp\u2019s leadership and tech-stack. After leaving a career in growth equity in 2010, he co-founded onefinestay, a pioneering brand in the alternative accommodation industry, offering short-term stays in high-end urban real estate. After raising $80M from Index Ventures, Canaan Partners, and Hyatt Hotels, onefinestay was acquired by Accor hotels for $200M in 2016. Following the acquisition, Evan was appointed CEO, running the global organisation with over 500 employees. \nThroughout this founder journey, Evan learned about building company culture through servant leadership and scaling operations using OKRs. Today, he sits down with Seedcamp\u2019s Carlos Espinal to discuss his growth journey to-date and share what he\u2019s up to now building Okra Labs, a firm helping teams incorporate KPI-driven goal setting & management frameworks.\n\nLinks:\nCarlos Espinal - www.twitter.com/cee\nSeedcamp - www.seedcamp.com\nEvan Frank - www.twitter.com/evanbfrank \nEvan Frank Website - www.evanfrank.co \nOkra Labs - www.okralabs.com\nThe Balance - www.thebalance.io\nGoogle\u2019s OKR Playbook - www.whatmatters.com/resources/google-okr-playbook\nJohn Doerr\u2019s What Matters - www.whatmatters.com
