The State of Ecomm Investing Pt 1: The Founder's Perspective

In this special two part series Taylor and Richard explore the current state of the ecommerce fundraising environment from two distinct points of view. In this first episode we talk with a founder, Dave Charne of Fyrn, who’s currently working on raising a bridge round for his DTC furniture brand Fyrn. Dave provides a view into what the experience has been like at this moment versus his previous round a year ago. Next week we’ll speak with Jason Bornstein of Forerunner Ventures on the view from the other side.
