About the show
Before a company raises money, it opens its books to investors in a data room. On this podcast, the experts who sit inside those rooms open theirs to you. Each episode takes one part of capital, funding or exit strategy and examines it through an industry expert's eyes.
Corporate lawyers, investors, bankers, valuation and deal advisors. The people founders meet across the table.
A clear view of one capital topic, from someone who sees it from the investor's side.
Long-form podcast, 30 to 60 min per episode. Every episode includes The Topic File: the key takeaways, written up on the episode page.
