When Chandler Givens and his co-founder launched TrackOff, the market for protecting privacy on the internet was taking off in a big way. As Chandler learned quickly, there's nothing like learning to surf in rough seas. Chandler talks about TrackOff's humble beginnings and subsequent growth, their punk-rock marketing tactics that garnered national media coverage, and their eventual acquisition by global cybersecurity firm Avast. He shares the challenges of scaling a startup and offers his advice to founders who are going through the grind and asking themselves, "When is the right time to exit?" Since the acquisition of TrackOff, Chandler has taken over as Director of Product Management for Consumer Privacy at Avast, and he talks about how integrating his company's product and team into the company has helped them continue to work toward identity protection at scale.
