The Real Sh*t Show For Founders With Special Guest Sunny Israni, CFA: 4 x Founder & Adjunct Professor at Columbia Business School

​Founders love to talk about wins.

​We are here to talk about everything else.

​For the January 14 edition of The Real Sh*t Show for Founders, we’re joined by Sunny Israni, serial entrepreneur, technologist, and Adjunct Professor at Columbia Business School, for a candid conversation about building companies, making mistakes, and learning the hard way.

​Sunny has spent nearly two decades building and scaling technology products. He is s the Co-Founder and CTO of Lightswitch, has founded multiple startups, and previously held senior engineering roles at Bloomberg and Shopify. Before tech, he started his career on the credit derivatives trading floor at Wall Street for Merrill Lynch, giving him a rare perspective across finance, engineering, and entrepreneurship.

​He shares his knowledge freely on https://www.youtube.com/@SunnySaysYes

​This session won’t be a highlight reel. We’ll talk about:

• ​Decisions that didn’t work out as planned

• ​Mistakes founders only recognize in hindsight

• ​How experience reshapes how you build and lead

• ​What he wishes he knew earlier and what he teaches now

​We’ll start the call with attendee questions, so bring what you’re wrestling with right now.

​No pitches. No posturing. Just real talk from someone who’s lived it.
