How to Deliver Real Value with Ara Mahdessian of ServiceTitan

Growing up, Ara saw firsthand how hard his father worked as a contractor running a trade business. When he met Vahe Kuzoyan, a fellow Armenian immigrant whose family worked in the trades, they saw an opportunity to help their own families work more efficiently and grow their businesses. Over time, word spread and they decided to go all in on building ServiceTitan. With a valuation over $9B, ServiceTitan helps thousands of customers in the trillion dollar trade industry. Ara shares how his dad wandering the aisles of Barnes & Noble kicked off his coding skills, why the two victories of B2B software are making customers money or saving them money, and how he and Vahe strive to cultivate a winning culture.
