In this episode, I’m really excited to welcome Spenser Skates on Clef de Voûte.
Spenser is the co-founder and CEO of Amplitude, the digital analytics platform that helps more than 4,500 companies around the world understand their users and build digital products that matter.
In our conversation, Spenser will share what it really takes to grow from the scrappy early days to meaningful enterprise scale : the trade-offs, the tough choices, and how you keep moving fast as the company gets bigger. We’ll also talk about building real product differentiation with AI : how to see through the hype, spot what’s real, and focus on long-term value rather than chasing trends. And finally, Spenser will give us a look at Amplitude’s roadmap for AI : where the company is headed next, how they’re planning to deploy AI, and how it will positively impact their customers.
