Episode description
In this first ever episode, ProfitLed host, Melissa Kwan, shares her own story of bootstrapping, why she felt the need to start this podcast, and why she thinks more spotlight should be given to non-venture backed founders who have forged their own path to success.
Melissa is the Cofounder and CEO of eWebinar, a 3rd time bootstrapped founder who has had the privilege of growing a startup to profitability and acquisition without taking venture capital, something that ultimately gave her the freedom to live the life she wanted to live on her terms.
Along her journey, she saw how the allure and perceived reality of building a venture-backed company drove many founder friends down a path that turned out not to be true to who they are and what they want.
There is nothing wrong with venture capital, but it’s not for everyone. In fact, it’s only right for a very few.
ProfitLed is a podcast that focuses on growth strategies for bootstrapped entrepreneurs from proven founders and strategists.
Melissa and her guests will explore the truth around how to build a company fully on your own terms and what it’s like to be able to design a life around the way you want to live as a result.
