Episode 56: Keshni Morar, Founder Institute

In Episode 56 of the BIG5D Podcast, we talk about venture building with Keshni Morar, the MD-South Africa, Founder Institute. The conversation jumps off from a LinkedIn post Keshni wrote about #Statuptruth in which she laments how too many startup founders fail to appreciate the need to carefully manage the funds they raise from investors. “$1M in funding doesn't make you rich,” Keshni wrote. “It makes you responsible.” Keshni’s post goes on to recount the story of one founder who spent VC money on a “founder wellness” trip to a tropical island. The substance of Keshni’s post is that venture funding is runway, not revenue. We hope you enjoy this episode, sponsored by NSPYRE (nspyre.co.za)
