Former Tesla president discloses the secret to scaling a company


“We scaled Tesla in 30 months from $2 billion in revenue to $20 billion in revenue,” said Jon McNeil, who is now co-founder and CEO of DVx Ventures.

Previously, he founded six different companies, and after Tesla, he joined Lyft as COO before starting his own venture firm, where he’s launched a dozen startups. Over the years, McNeil has developed a playbook that helps him identify when a company is ripe for scaling. De Chant is also a lecturer in MIT’s Graduate Program in Science Writing, and he was awarded a Knight Science Journalism Fellowship at MIT in 2018, during which time he studied climate technologies and explored new business models for journalism.
