Coffee with a Founder Podcast: Scott Clark, Distributional
What actually keeps founders up at night? On this episode of Coffee with a Founder, Beck Bamberger chats with Scott Clark, Co-Founder and CEO of Distributional, a modern platform for enterprise AI testing and evaluation.
Scott opens up about the rollercoaster of startup life: the chaos, the constant need to reprioritize, and the lessons learned from his first venture-backed company to present day. He shares the not-so-glamorous side of “second time founder” life, what happens when you hit walls even harder, why uncomfortable pivots are just part of the job, and admits how his inner procrastinator still shapes his leadership style.
