Hi founder! I'm Lavena, the host of Insane Founder. Behind every business is a founder navigating doubt, sacrifice and figuring out how to make it work. I'm always on the hunt for those stories, told with the real numbers, the real struggles, and the real strategies. If you're brave enough to tell the truth about what you're building, I'd love to hear it. Take this 3-minute application and we'll get back to you.
