    E02: Assessing Fundability When Traditional Banks Say No — Louis Bachour

    ​When traditional banking systems see red flags, private lenders look for nuance. For Web3 founders and small business operators, the gap between being "unbankable" and "fundable" often comes down to how risk is structured and communicated outside institutional frameworks. ​In this episode of Web3 Unfiltered, we sit down with Louis Bachour, a seasoned private lender and investor who has deployed millions into ventures that traditional finance often overlooks. We strip away the polished pitch decks to examine the gritty reality of alternative capital: how risk is priced when spreadsheets are messy, the specific behavioural traits that signal a deal's viability, and the expensive mistakes lenders make when intuition fails. ​Whether you are navigating a capital raise or building a business in a high-risk market, this conversation provides an analytical autopsy of what it actually takes to secure capital when the conventional route is closed. ​Key discussion points include: ​The Private Lending Framework: Why private capital is a system of nuance, not just high interest. ​Risk Filtration: The red flags that instantly kill a deal and the "signals" that save them. ​Founder Positioning: How to make a business "lendable" without faking financial perfection. ​The Future of Capital: How relationship-based lending survives in an increasingly algorithmic financial world. ​Connect with our guest: Instagram: @louis_bachour

    E01: Turning Everyday Problems into On-Chain Solutions — Dominic Zagara

    Most people still associate blockchain with speculation and trading. But what happens when it’s applied to a real-world problem outside finance? In this episode of Web3 Unfiltered, Collins Odabi sits down with Dominic Zagara — crypto regulation expert and founder of Dog Tag — to explore how blockchain can power pet health records and travel verification. They challenge whether decentralisation is truly necessary, unpack privacy and regulatory hurdles, and examine where traditional databases fall short. Dog Tag's success over time could prove that Web3’s next frontier isn’t financial speculation — it’s practical, everyday utility.
