Bio
Teddy Blank has spent his career working to grow companies from their earliest days and answering the question of, "how do we get our first ten customers?".
He was previously co-founder of Tempo, a secure, differential privacy-enabled marketplace for biometric data from top athletes.
Prior to starting Tempo, Teddy led Sales and BD for Symphony Commerce, an ecommerce service as a platform startup backed by $52m from CRV, Bain, and FirstMark which grew revenues to $10M+ ARR in less than three years.
Teddy began his career as an analyst at Accenture, working across industries from telecom to banking to public transit. He is an advisor to early-stage deep tech startups and loves the challenge of taking a business from zero to the moon. Teddy holds an MBA from Harvard University and a BA from Amherst College.
