In this episode, I chat with David Walsh, a 3x Founder, dad to 3 year old and business mentor, with 10+ years B2B SaaS experience under his belt. This is a masterclass in growing a business - the do's, don'ts and the realities of entrepreneurship.

Before his current company, David co-founded Mathison, raising $34M USD investment, achieving 300%+ ARR growth and securing 250+ new clients like Bank of America, HelloFresh, TripAdvisor and more. After scaling that to a 100+ person team, David exited at the age of 30, for a multi-7-figure sum.

Before this, David founded Chase West USA, a luxury watch company and held leadership roles at Indeed.com and Jobbio. Today, he's building Limelight, the first-ever B2B creator partnership platform (with 500+ brands signed up and 4000 B2B content creators - in less than 7 months).
