The business has massively expanded in the last 18 months, and Mina has managed to drive a lot of that growth remotely while he’s been locked down in Australia. It’s an awesome story - don’t miss it.  Specifically, they dig into:  - for the uninitiated, a brief background on the story of Bolt Bikes and now Zoomo, and why electric bikes are compelling for delivery/B2B.- Where they’ve seen the most growth in the last 18 months. - Zoomo works directly with the delivery companies, so we unpack how integrated into their signup flow the company can you be.- Zoomo have started releasing their own hardware, so they unpack more about the vehicles and what they’ve learnt in doing that. - On episode 66, Mina indicated he had no interest in going for consumers. They explore whether that view has changed at all. - You've raised a few rounds of funding since the last conversation. They talk about the fundraising landscape and what has/has not changed. - One thing that the MM team was massively impressed by in the first interview was Zoomo’s capacity to raise debt funding - felt like a real strategic advantage relative to other companies in the space and it's still relativley uncommon. They unpack why it’s still uncommon and who is doing it well/what needs to happen to make it common. It was a great discussion - well worth listening to!","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/at7G3gxGDWglvTJ3FfhPtfaxPELHBPmCFC9m1Fl166c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xZjFh/Y2JhNjg4Mzg5MzJi/ZGJlMGFmNjA4ZjU4/NzMzOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
