Profile introduction
Founding three businesses taught me one thing: the best ideas die from lack of working capital, not lack of vision. I spent years bootstrapping my first company from my bedroom in Dublin, consulting by day to pay the bills while building at night. Then raised VC money for company #2. Then sold company #3. Each time, I watched great founders hit the same wall… they knew exactly where to invest, but traditional financing was either too slow, too expensive, or demanded too much equity. So we built Wayflyer to fix it. As Co-Founder & CEO, I lead a team that's deployed $5B+ to 5,000 consumer brand…
