Meet John Pestana.

He co-founded Omniture and sold it to Adobe for $1.8 billion. Then he built ObservePoint into another massive success. He's been named Entrepreneur of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Decade, and inducted into the Silicon Slopes Hall of Fame.

On Monday, Feb. 23, John is sitting down with Start School to talk about what it actually takes to build something that lasts. How the early days really felt. How he thinks about funding. How he's using AI right now and where he thinks it's heading for entrepreneurs. What leading yourself looks like before you try to lead anyone else. And what a successful life actually means when you zoom out beyond the company.

Start School exists for this. Real, practical advice from people who have actually done it.
