Show Notes

Ever wonder what really happens behind the scenes when a rocket-ship MSP vendor goes from scrappy startup to multi-billion dollar public company? Today, I’m talking with Michael Fass, former Datto general counsel and now CEO at Slide. Michael’s seen the vendor/MSP relationship from every angle—legal, operational, and now as a co-founder, building Slide for the MSP channel.

If you want a brutally honest look at what hypergrowth actually looks like from the inside, why most MSPs never get past “just technical,” and how to avoid being the cobbler with ragged shoes, this episode is for you.

You’ll walk away knowing how to spot your “butter zone” in leadership, and a new way to think about partnering with the tech vendors in your stack.

This episode is brought to you by Opsleader Pro. A place for MSP owners and managers to get the systems and tools they need to build a stable and growing MSP. Part group coaching, part peer group, everything you need to run a successful MSP.
