The deadliest trap for a founder isn't running out of cash—it's running out of time.
Between venture capital rounds, bridge funding, and government grants, it has never been easier to keep a flatlining startup on artificial life support. But as Unicorn founder @destraynor points out, capital is replaceable—your 20s and 30s are not.

On this week’s episode of The Further, Faster Podcast, Antler Partner Tobias Bengtsdahl talks to Des Traynor, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Fin, formerly known as Intercom, to get the real, unvarnished playbook on product-market fit, ruthless scaling, and survival. Listen now.
