Collisions YYC

In this episode, we sit down with Avanti Software’s co-CEO, David Owen Cord, to discuss raising funds and how it can help accelerate your company’s goals. With a wealth of experience in finance from his time at Credit Suisse and Onex, David provides a rare perspective on both sides of the equation. He dives into what it takes to find the right partner for your business and how VC funding helped Avanti better support its customers.

Show Notes

Avanti’s founders were looking for a partner who would be supportive and collaborative, rather than one who act like they have all the answers. They felt that some VCs take too much pride in ownership and control, and Avanti’s team wanted to be able to steer the business themselves. Learn how they found the perfect VC partner who helped them to achieve their goals faster than if they had bootstrapped them.
