Drawing from his own journey through three successful exits, he shares how he raised $15 million pre-revenue during the dot-com boom, learned the hard way that great ideas fail without market readiness, and turned a struggling concept into a company eventually acquired by BlackBerry. Learn how founders can identify the right problems to solve, test demand before building, and recognize when it’s time to pivot, raise, or exit strategically.   ➡️ Show Links https://successstorypodcast.com   YouTube: https://youtu.be/Xe25lwThfBw  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shirish-nadkarni-author-of-from-startup-to-exit/id1484783544  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7cAYe8tjGHCEdg9srQzs4a    ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary
