Great to chat with Brad Moran about his journey in startups and the success of CitrusAd. CitrusAd is a software company that provides retailers with a system for merchants to compete for ad space on their websites. Starting in 2017, Brad Moran grew the business quickly before it was sold in 2021 for $205 million. Throughout the episode, Brad talks about the harsh reality of building a startup. I was fascinated by his insights on this often ignored aspect of business. He talks about the personal sacrifices founders have to make in order to succeed and whether it is worth it. He also talks about the importance of raising capital early, not just for the money but also for the ability to validate your ideas before committing too much time to it.

Worked on my first podcast with Lakshmi Chaudhry & Chitra Raghavan - they talk about how important it is to have an understanding between founders before you Start up. Not many founders take time to have an understanding between themselves before they raise capital. A founders' agreement is extremely important to make sure you navigate disagreements in the future.

In our latest episode on the Practical Nerds podcast, Patric and I discuss an aspect of starting up that affects every start-up (and should affect every conversation with a VC) but remains scarily opaque and under-appreciated. We go through why the extent and nature of a company's burn is reflective of how good/bad the company is at Capital allocation and delivering a Return on Investment, and why this becomes even more existential for AECS companies. Check out the episode and follow our podcast !

A founder and her lawyer walk into a podcast studio... no, it's not the start of a bad joke, it's a podcast series called ‘The Clueless Founder’ where a founder and her lawyer spill the beans on startup legalities 😊 In a fun first episode, we break down the 'Founders' Agreement.

I had a great conversation with Alexa von Tobel on her podcast, How to Test a Hypothesis. We covered everything from the early days of Shipt to the vision behind Landing – and my mindset behind building and scaling companies. When Alexa asked about testing new ideas, I shared my goal every time I have one: Get people to pay me for it before I build it.
