FreeElio Narciso’s Customer-First Guide For Building Innovative Products
Elio Narciso is passionate about technology, making the world better, and having fun while combining the two. And, he loves startups.
His career includes years of designing and launching go-to-market initiatives for mid to late-stage enterprise tech startups with Amazon AWS. He also successfully co-founded and exited two tech startups with deals valued at over $80 million.
Today, Elio is the co-founder and CEO of Scalestack where he’s building a one-of-a-kind AI copilot for sales that uncovers and integrates market data to accelerate business wins.
In his Founders Network global keynote on March 15, Elio will cover what he describes as the ‘working backward’ methodology, which is the blueprint behind Amazon’s customer-centric innovation framework. In addition to sharing more about this methodology for product success, Elio will also dive into how to build a strong team culture.
During his keynote, Elio will cover his startup journey and keys to success along with:
- How to vet your product idea before writing any code
- The power of putting pen to paper to align teams
- Building products that solve consumer problems
- The steps needed to define, hire against, and stick to your culture

Testimonials
If you don't have a cohort group in something like Founders Network that you can develop long-term relationships with and discuss the same topics that come up with people that you already know, you're probably missing out on something very important.
David Plonsky
The number one advantage is the law of compound interest. The longer you stay in a very high-quality network the strong and more authentic relationships you build.
Chaitanya Vaidya
We know each other's business and we know each other's struggles. Having a personal relationship with other founders that is completely confidential and completely authentic gives you a lot of great advice.
Doug Lessing
FN manages my network for me by connecting me with other founders in my specific industry sector. I've been able to explore business development opportunities, partnerships, etc.
Becky Splitt
We just saw the first Mexican unicorn come to life this same week which is a fantastic idea. Being part of the Founders Network makes a lot of sense. We see that the Mexico City chapter is growing substantially.
Max Linares
There's a lot of great stuff going on even now in San Francisco. I've found Founders Network has been a great resource for me and for all of the founders I know during these tough times.
Jarie Bolander
It allowed me to meet people who had done this before that had the experience. I was able to explain an issue very briefly and they were able to give me a very detailed response on how they addressed it.
Terence Finn
I've used the platform to discover advice, connections, resources, discounts, on important services, connections to investors, and practice on how to pitch. The kind of conversations you can't get anywhere else on youtube or google searches.
Alexandra Greenhill
I see Founders Network as one of those necessary resources in the Chicagoland area.
