    2 Million Canadians…An $800M Valuation: Here’s What It Took

    Dan Eberhard didn’t set out to build a fintech company, he set out to fix a system that wasn’t working for people like the family he grew up in. Raised by a single mother in British Columbia, Dan saw early how traditional financial institutions often fail the very people who rely on them most. After a mix of wins and hard lessons in prior ventures, he went on to found KOHO, one of Canada’s most successful challenger banks, scaling from zero revenue in 2017 to hundreds of millions of dollars today. In this conversation, we unpack what it really takes to build a company by solving the right problems, not the easy ones, and what Canada needs more of if it wants to produce the next generation of enduring businesses. Dan is the Founder and CEO of KOHO, a Canadian fintech company redefining how people manage their money. He discusses: Growing up with a single mom in BC, and how that shaped his view of money, systems, and opportunity Why traditional banks no longer work for modern Canadians The biggest structural challenges in how our government is set up Scaling KOHO from zero revenue in 2017 to an $800M valuation Why experience is overrated, and what he actually looks for when hiring and supporting A players Reflections on leadership, conflict, and fatherhood while building a high-growth company ___ Chapters 00:00:00 Growing Up with Agency: Early Life and Entrepreneurial Roots 00:02:09 First Venture: Wind Energy and Learning to Sell 00:06:20 Why Hard Problems Attract the Best Talent 00:08:29 Canada's Go-for-Bronze Culture and the GDP Problem 00:12:41 Government Bloat and the Cost of Bureaucracy 00:19:46 Starting KOHO 00:23:17 Experience is Overrated: Hiring for Horsepower, Warmth, and Humility 00:25:04 The KOHO 50: Managing Top Performers and Building Culture 00:39:05 Secondaries, 10-Year Options, and Treating Employees Right 00:45:10 Fatherhood, Identity, and Learning Self-Compassion 00:49:57 Money, Agency, and Building for Impact 00:53:15 Rapid Fire and Final Advice ___ Between Two Brunettes Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@betweentwobrunettes Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betweentwobrunettes Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@betweentwobrunettes LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/betweentwobrunettes X: https://x.com/twobrunettespod Samantha Miller Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samanthaj_miller Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@samanthaj_miller LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthamiller111 X: https://x.com/samantha_btbpod Germana Kazazi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/germanakazazi Tiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@germanakazazi LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/germana-kazazi X: https://x.com/GermanaKazazi Daniel Eberhard LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danieleberhard/ X: https://x.com/DanEbs ___ Produced by Thirty Two Media Inc.

    Scaling a Healthtech Startup While Living with Multiple Sclerosis

    Alex Oosterveen was in the middle of building a company when his life changed overnight. A former investment banker turned founder, Alex was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the very start of building Caribou - a moment that forced him to confront his health and the choices that led to this moment. In this conversation, we unpack what it really takes to scale a company while navigating uncertainty, chronic illness, and building a family. Alex is the Co-Founder and CEO of Caribou, a Canadian healthtech startup tackling one of the most overlooked challenges in healthcare: the caregiver shortage. Caribou is a caregiver engagement platform that helps home care companies better support and retain caregivers. He discusses: Being diagnosed with MS while building his company and how it reshaped his relationship with work, health, and ambition The lifestyle and environmental changes that transformed his health (spoiler alert: it wasn’t a drug) The deliberate path he took to gain the insight, experience, and credibility needed before entering the caregiver industry The pivotal decisions that accelerated Caribou’s growth Building a company with his wife, and how that choice strengthened both their partnership and the business How he thinks about work-life integration while raising their young boy ___ Chapters 00:00:51 The MS Diagnosis: A Life-Changing Moment 00:03:27 Taking Control: Treatment and Lifestyle Changes 00:11:15 The Origin Story: From Investment Banking to Caregiving 00:19:22 The Labor Shortage Crisis in Home Care 00:22:58 Building Caribou 00:55:07 The COVID Pivot: Adapting to Survive 00:31:42 Bringing on a Co-Founder 00:38:10 Working with Your Spouse 00:44:19 Becoming a Father 00:45:56 Defining Success and Future Vision 01:00:22 Closing Wisdom: Advice for Parents and Founders ___ Between Two Brunettes Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@betweentwobrunettes Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betweentwobrunettes Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@betweentwobrunettes LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/betweentwobrunettes X: https://x.com/twobrunettespod Samantha Miller Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samanthaj_miller Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@samanthaj_miller LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthamiller111 X: https://x.com/samantha_btbpod Germana Kazazi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/germanakazazi Tiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@germanakazazi LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/germana-kazazi X: https://x.com/GermanaKazazi Alex Oosterveen LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-oosterveen/ ___ Produced by Thirty Two Media Inc.
