The final guest of Season 2 is the incredible Mallun Yen!
Mallun Yen has devoted the past 20 years to changing the status quo and shifting industry norms, as an enterprise executive, operator, and category-creator. These experiences laid the groundwork for Operator Collective, a venture fund and community she founded in 2018 to make venture accessible to a group critical to a startup’s success but largely left out: top operators from diverse backgrounds who have built and scaled the most admired companies in the world. Prior to founding Operator Collective, Mallun was at the forefront of other category-creating companies also rooted in community, including RPX ($0-$100M and IPO in 3 years), SaaStr (worlds’ largest b2b software community), ChIPsNetwork.org (4,000 members and 17 chapters around the world).
So many pieces of advice from Mallun’s personal experience in this episode. Enjoy!

Amanda’s experience as a Division I basketball player in college helped her realize that she always wanted to have some connection to athletics. As she progressed into coaching basketball, she realized the one thing in her life that wasn’t where she wanted it to be: her social scene. Her (poor) experience with dating apps inspired her to start her own company with Playoff - a dating app for current and former athletes! She took her personal struggle and decided to start her own venture.
So many lessons from Amanda - an inspiring, motivating, and honest entrepreneur! Enjoy!
