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.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
