Happy 4th of July folks! Today's podcast features Rami Essaid, founder of Finmark. Rami had a goal of helping founders have a better sense of what their company's future financial picture looks like. Finmark integrates with your accounting software and CRMs to give a better understanding of current expenses and allows for accurate forecasts of growth. Rami details pitching 120 investors before getting Finmark's first check and eventually raising a seed round with Bessemer Venture Partners and Draper Associates. We also hear about early entrepreneurship tales like selling shoe polish as a kid and creating a startup with friends. If you're a founder tired of managing your financial projections with spreadsheets, sign up for Finmark.
