From One Hit to a Repeatable Engine: Building Your Company's Second Act | Disrupt 2026

Most startups achieve one great product but struggle to replicate that success, stalling instead of building a repeatable multi-product engine. At Disrupt 2026, Daring Ventures' Maddi Holman, Verkada's Filip Kaliszan, and Atlassian's Tamar Yehoshua share the operational playbook for creating a compounding 'Second Act' before your core product's growth curve flattens. They dive into capital allocation strategies, systemizing internal innovation, and the organizational structures that foster repeatable product success. The panelists draw from their experiences at companies that have successfully launched multiple products, discussing how to balance investment in the core business with bets on new ventures. They cover practical approaches to incentivizing innovation, managing risk, and ensuring that teams have the autonomy and resources to explore new ideas. The conversation also addresses common pitfalls that prevent companies from becoming multi-product engines and how to avoid them. Whether you're a founder, product leader, or investor, this session offers actionable insights on transforming a single hit into a sustainable innovation machine. Learn how to engineer a second act that keeps your company growing and competitive. #TechCrunchDisrupt2026
