Listen "The Gritty Reality of Building an Un-Monetised Solution"
Episode Synopsis
In this heartfelt and gritty episode of Lost & Founders, we sit down with Founder and CEO, Emmanuel Al-Jinavo, of Feed4Ward, who is spending his own money and time to build a solution aimed squarely at supporting the small business community.
Driven by the mission to stop SMEs from collapsing due to issues like delayed payments and backlogs, he explains the intense emotional and financial sacrifices required. He contrasts the clear monetisation of traditional businesses with the "different game altogether" of tech, where investment must happen long before revenue. Hear his journey from moments of self-doubt to finding the powerful motivation—the community's feedback—that keeps his fuel gauge full.
