The Unsexy Startup is a business podcast hosted by Sumay Parikh. It has 20 episodes, with the latest published November 2018.

The Unsexy Startup talks about what it truly takes to build a company, and not just the highlights. Every week, we interview Founders who have raised successful rounds, and / or have sold a company prior to their current venture. Topics cover the Unsexiest time founders had, while growing their startup. The podcast also talks about how to handle Unsexy challenges such as creating more emotional intelligence, raising funds at an early stage, how to deal with frustrations at an early stage, and these are just to name a few. The overall goal of the podcast is to help new coming founders develop more awareness and resilience, so they can overcome the Unsexy challenges that come in the early stages of creating their company.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
