What does it really take to raise money, find product-market fit, and build a startup worth acquiring in 2026? In this episode, we are joined by Susan Ho, an entrepreneur, startup advisor, and former founder who built and exited travel-tech startup Journy to Hopper. shares the lessons she learned building Journy from the ground up, raising capital, navigating the founder journey, and ultimately selling the company to Hopper. We dive into the realities of startup fundraising, why founders get stuck in the "need traction to raise money, need money to get traction" cycle, and how today's founders can leverage personal branding and social media to accelerate growth. If you're a founder struggling with growth, fundraising, or the emotional rollercoaster of building a business, this is a must-watch. A candid conversation filled with real lessons, mindset shifts, and the kind of "mental therapy" every entrepreneur needs from time to time.
