The Founder Who Outsmarted $100M Competitors and Created His Own Exit // Donal Greene // Trustmatic

Decelerator with Rob Kenedi

Donal Greene didn’t raise $100M. He didn’t even follow the startup playbook.Instead, he bootstrapped a lean team, built a better identity verification product, and forced one of his competitor’s customers to acquire him by showing them how broken their current solution was.In this episode of Decelerator, we dive into:

  • How Donal built a “Minimum Lovable Product” instead of chasing MVP hype
  • Why deep domain knowledge beat VC-funded noise
  • What he learned replacing his founding team mid-build
  • How a cold outreach turned into a full acquisition
  • And what he’d do differently the next time around

This one’s for the builders who’d rather out-execute than out-raise.
