Episode description

Victoria van Lennep and Guillaume Pousaz have both built multi-billion dollar businesses while raising little to no external capital. Victoria’s Lendable – a company founded in 2014 – had raised only £4m in equity before reaching unicorn status in 2020. Similarly, Guillaume’s company Checkout.com hit and exceeded a unicorn valuation after nine years of bootstrapping when it set out to raise its successful Series A in 2019. Now, Victoria and Guillaume will take the stage to discuss their experiences with building a business without relying on external cash. What are the challenges and benefits? Why did they choose to do it? How do you secure both growth and profitability?
