Inside the episode

Released May 5, 2020

"Racehorses race with blinders on for a reason - they need to focus on winning the race." - Tim Delisle


Tim’s first gig was executing the ideas of others. He soon realized the Data Science and Insight work he was doing wasn’t solving the pain point that was creating usable data.

The solution didn’t exist. It needed to be created – and he knew how to do it. Tim started his company at just 25 years old. He did his first pitch between college classes with sharpies from his backpack.

On this episode, we discuss:

• Finding his co-founder at a Hackathon
• Building culture by cooking and eating together
• Not knowing any VC’s when he started
• 3 keys stages: Seed stage, Series A, and large growth rounds
• Translating gut instincts into clear communication
