BUILDING A COMPANY WHERE TECHNOLOGY, FINANCE & REGULATION COLLIDE
A Candid Conversation with
Dario Fusato & Tony Derossi
LIVE • IN-PERSON • AUDIENCE Q&A
What really happens when founders take an innovative idea into a highly regulated industry?
Join us for a live podcast recording with Dario Fusato and Tony Derossi as they return for a second conversation about building their company, navigating regulation, finding product-market fit, educating the market, working with government, and making difficult decisions with incomplete information.
This won't be a typical startup conversation.
We'll go behind the scenes on what has happened since their first interview — including the unexpected challenges, lessons from customers, sales cycles, and the realities of building a company in a complex financial and regulatory environment.
TOPICS WE'LL EXPLORE
FROM IDEA → REAL BUSINESS
How do you know when a problem is important enough that customers will actually change their behavior and pay to solve it?
CUSTOMER DISCOVERY
What happens when customers challenge your original assumptions — and how should founders respond?
SELLING IN A REGULATED INDUSTRY
How do you build sales and marketing when traditional startup growth tactics don't always apply?
EDUCATING THE MARKET
How do you distinguish genuine market education from generating interest that never turns into customers?
FINANCIAL MARKET SALES CYCLES
What makes selling into financial markets different — and what did the founders wish they knew earlier?
WORKING WITH GOVERNMENT
How can entrepreneurs work with government as a partner rather than simply treating it as an obstacle?
