Biederman Brings Real-World Scale Experience to TechCrunch Founders
Startup growth requires far more than funding and product—it demands leadership, execution, and talent strategy. That’s why Rob Biederman, managing partner of Asymmetric Capital Partners and co-founder of Catalant Technologies, is a key speaker at this year’s TechCrunch All Stage event on July 15, 2025.
Biederman will join founders in an intimate roundtable format, where he’ll share firsthand lessons on scaling operations, building strong teams, and navigating rapid expansion.
His approach isn’t academic theory—he’s helped build companies from startup to scale, and now advises others through venture capital, board leadership, and executive coaching.

A Track Record of Scaling What Startups Struggle With
Biederman is best known for co-founding Catalant Technologies, a firm that now connects 70,000+ experts and 1,000 boutique firms to major corporations seeking on-demand talent. Over eight years as co-CEO, he transformed Catalant into a dominant workforce platform, helping legacy enterprises become agile and project-driven.
Today, Biederman leads Asymmetric Capital Partners, where he invests in early-stage startups with the same operational discipline and long-term thinking that defined his own journey.
In parallel, he lectures at Harvard Business School, shaping future founders on how to scale venture-backed companies and lead through complexity.
What Founders Can Expect From His Session
At TechCrunch All Stage 2025, Biederman’s roundtable will focus on three core founder challenges:
- Rethinking talent and leadership for scale
- Developing operational leverage
- Balancing capital strategy with execution risk
This isn’t a keynote—it’s a strategic discussion where founders can ask real questions about real problems. If you’re struggling with early hires, culture drift, or whether to fundraise again—this is the room where answers happen.

Why This Event Matters Now
As the startup landscape recalibrates post-AI boom and late-stage funding tightens, operational excellence is the new differentiator. Founders who learn how to scale without over-extending will be those who raise their next round—or reach IPO.
Whether you’re preparing for your first series A, navigating headcount after product-market fit, or planning multi-market expansion, Biederman’s experience spans the full growth curve.
