What We Talk About
Welcome to Funds & Founders, where we dig deep into the stories of successful founders. Instead of focusing on their successes, we dive into their journeys - particularly the struggles and obstacles they had to overcome.
Each week, I sit down with founders who have built remarkable companies to explore:
- The real challenges they faced that never made headlines
- Critical decisions that shaped their trajectory
- Near-death moments and how they survived them
- Fundraising realities beyond the funding announcements
- Mental and emotional struggles of building a company
- Tactical lessons other founders can apply
