Example: "In my previous role as a co-founder of XYZ Startup, I led the company from ideation to a successful exit. We started with thorough market research to identify a gap in the market, followed by developing a minimum viable product (MVP). After securing seed funding, we focused on user acquisition through targeted marketing campaigns and strategic partnerships. Within two years, we scaled the company to over 100,000 users and achieved a 300% revenue growth year-over-year. Eventually, we were acquired by a larger tech firm, which was a testament to our success and scalability."
