We had a great conversation with Tableau CEO Christian Chabot Wednesday evening at our GeekWire Meetup. Chabot talked about several interesting topics, from why entrepreneurs should avoid venture capital to the power of perseverance over pivoting to Seattle as a startup city.
You can check out the video highlights above, followed by some additional thoughts from our attendees.
