🧠 Finding Genius: Gonz Sanchez, VP of Growth at OnDeck (+Creator of Seedtable)
Helping more people start more companies
Gonz has been a “growth hacker” since way before the term was coined. Dropping out of architecture school in favor of web properties, he experienced the power of the internet at an early age flipping websites as a side hustle.
It wasn't until a startup conference showed up at his hometown in Argentina that he realized this could actually be a career. Since then he's never looked back. After several growth roles in tech & venture, he started a weekly newsletter on European tech for himself and a few friends called Seedtable. Now it's read by thousands of founders, investors and operators in Europe with some fairly impressive stats:
• 60,000+ monthly unique visitors.
• 20,000+ subscribers.
• Featured in major publications like Wired, MSNBC, Sifted, the Venture Stories podcast, Not Optional and Atomico's State of European Tech.
*Humble Brag* — one of my pieces (CRISPR & Cannabis) was featured in Seedtable in December 2021.
Gonz has become an influential leader in European Tech with an ambitious vision to help as many entrepreneurs as possible build more companies. I've had the privilege of working with him and count him as one of my many peers in EU tech that also serve as a mentor !
