Becoming a successful entrepreneur: credibility, first customers, scaling & fundraising w/ Yoav Vilner
Today we are covering many topics related to becoming a successful entrepreneur. There are multiple paths to entrepreneurial success, so I wanted to bring on another founder to chat about his path.
I’m joined by Yoav Vilner, a credible resource for talking about this subject as a very successful entrepreneur himself. Yoav is the CEO of Walnut and recently raised $35 million in series B financing and $56 million in just a year and a half.
Tune in to my chat with Yoav as we discuss gaining credibility as a young entrepreneur (something I struggled with), how to go about getting those first customers and scaling from there, and how to fundraise.
