Lew Schulman, CEO & Chairman of iBUILD Global, joins Founder Files to talk about what founders get wrong about fundraising — and what it really means to raise capital that fits.
We dig into what it takes to scale in overlooked markets, how to build trust with mission-critical partners, and why raising reactively can cost more than just equity. Hosted by Salma Hatim, Founder of Cypher.
Topics include:
– The role of public-private partnerships in global expansion
– Why culture (not product) is the barrier to tech adoption in emerging markets
– What founders should consider before taking outside capital
