Hosted by Elena Park
The Vetrepreneur Hour
Founders. Failures. Fortunes. Real talk from veterans building companies.
Founders on the deals they actually closed — and the ones they didn't.
About the show
The Vetrepreneur Hour puts the mic in front of veteran founders who have signed the personal guarantee, made payroll on faith, and lived to tell the story. Each episode is a candid, unedited hour on what actually moves the needle — sales, capital, hiring, and the identity shift from operator to owner.
What you will hear
- Founder war stories: the deal that saved the company, the hire that almost killed it
- Fundraising tactics that work outside Silicon Valley
- Frameworks for pricing, positioning, and hiring your first ten people
- Mental health, marriage, and the cost of building something real
