New Podcast Episode: A Founder’s Perspective on Fundraising and The Art of the Ask with Kristian Marquez of FinStrat

Happy Tuesday, my friends! I’m excited to bring you this episode of the RBFN podcast with my guest, Kristian Marquez, CEO and founder of FinStrat. Kristian has experienced a lot - started companies, raised capital, failed and succeeded, and even gone through an IPO. Now at FinStrat, Kristian helps other startups get their financial operations in order and raise capital. We dive into the lessons he’s learned working with dozens of companies as they grow and seek funding.

I should mention that the reason I know Kristian is that FinStrat raised capital from Novel as well, so I know him pretty well. We also talk about how that process worked for him and why he sought alternative capital when he did.

He also shares his perspective on how investors and founders should approach one another in order to develop long and fruitful partnerships. Tune in to this one here and go deep on startups, raising capital, and financial operations!
