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
