Fundraising, Culture, Persistence: What Keeps Founders Going

​Raising money in a difficult market. Building a culture before there's any proof it works. Staying in it anyway.

​James Keirstead, President & CEO at Levven, joins us for a fireside chat co-hosted with RBCx on what it's actually taken to grow a company rewiring how homes get built and lead his team through it.

​Levven was acquired in 2011 as a vertical integration play for his spa business. It took a few years before he realized the real opportunity was in the walls, not the hot tubs.

​We'll dig into that pivot, the long stretch of proving the model, the culture it took to hold a team through years without guarantees, and the Series A now closing.
