episode Building and Selling a FinTech in 30 Months w/ Adrien de Forceville cover

Building and Selling a FinTech in 30 Months w/ Adrien de Forceville

In this episode, David sits down with Adrien de Forceville, founder of Pledger, for a candid conversation about the realities of startup fundraising. Adrien shares why raising too much capital too early can derail decision-making and how staying lean can lead to smarter, more sustainable growth. We also explore Adrien’s entrepreneurial journey—from building and exiting a FinTech in just 30 months, to his current focus at Pledger, a company reshaping how we think about sustainability, impact, and green banking. Key Takeaways: * Raising too much money too quickly can lead to bad decisions. * Lean startups make sharper, more thoughtful choices. * Fundraising isn’t always the right path. Sometimes, avoiding it is strategic. * Strong networks are just as valuable as capital. * Sustainable growth beats quick funding every time.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
