Zero to IPO

Most business podcasts follow a similar format: find a successful CEO and have them tell their story. This is not that show. Zero to IPO tackles real world problems with real world experience, featuring actionable advice and anecdotes from some of the world's most innovative founders. In season one, we broke down each stage of a company's growth cycle on a granular level with everyone from Parker Harris of Salesforce.com, to Julia Hartz of Eventbrite and Marc Andreessen of Andreessen Horowitz. In season two, we're mixing up the format and hosting a fresh batch of successful founders and CEOs in conversation with new entrepreneurs whose companies have found themselves at a strategic crossroads. Every growing company faces similar challenges, but not every company talks about them. Zero to IPO is designed to give entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs, and the public at large an unfiltered view into what it really takes to build a successful company — from start to IPO and beyond.

    Floodgate and tEQuitable

    You’ve built a product that everyone needs. The only problem? They just don’t know it yet. How do you convince potential clients to give you a try? On this episode of Zero to IPO, Floodgate co-founder Ann Miura-Ko and tEQuitable CEO and founder Lisa Gelobter discuss the importance of category creation, product market fit, and brand recognition. Ann also lends her expertise as a prominent investor to help Lisa strategize on how to buck fundraising trends, and steadily grow her business in an otherwise fast-paced industry. And we wouldn’t be relevant if we didn’t talk about impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the market and the economy, and the necessity of an “anti-fragile mentality” to thrive.

    You’ve created something incredible, and once it hits the market, it’s guaranteed to change the world. But you’re a rookie CEO and don’t have any experience getting a product off the ground. So how do you get started, and how do you scale?

We explore how to acquire and get the most out of your first client, and how to get paid what you're worth. And since Goodr is a mission-driven company committed to combating hunger (no small feat!), Beth and Jasmine also discuss what it means to make your passion your day job, how to find work/life balance, and the importance of taking care of yourself when you’re taking care of so many others.
