#HYPEsession with BJ Lackland
Imagine for a second raising VC money AFTER producing $14 million in revenue. How much easier would that pitch be?
Our second #HYPEsession features BJ Lackland, CEO of Lighter Capital. Lighter Capital is the most active revenue-based financial provider in the United States.
He joins me for a lightning chat in this week's #HYPEsession to share the goods.
BUT FIRST, WHAT IS A #HYPESESSION?
#HYPEsessions are lightning 10-minute interviews with supporters of the startup ecosystem, such as investors, service providers, advisors, or accelerator heads. We simulcast the video across Linkedin and Instagram TV through @startuphypeman, and share the audio as part of the release feed on Startup Hypeman: The Podcast
