How I Failed: 250 VCs and not a single yes, with Pluto Co-Founder Alex Rainey
Secret Leaders with Dan Murray-Serter & Chris Donnelly - A podcast by Leaders Media
Do you want to learn about raising capital from someone who has been through the wringer and reflected on his mistakes? Alex Rainey is the Co-Founder of travel insurer and planning app Pluto, which he founded in 2018. They raised a total of £1.3 million, and grew to be the UK’s second highest rated travel insurer and one of the top-3 travel planning apps on the app store. But in September 2022, just a couple of months before we recorded this episode, Alex and his Co-Founder sold the company after failing to raise in a brutal fundraise. What went wrong? Listen to find out. If you have any feedback, we’d love to hear it. What would make the show better? [email protected] Sponsor links: quickbooks.co.uk/secretleaders Learn more about your ad choices.
