The Switch Deck are the 10 key shifts in early stage venture that help further align founders and investors, that we explored and synthesised from Series 1-3 of FounderTech Decoded.

In this Episode we have an amazing open conversation with Karl Swanepoel, who is the youngest exited founder we have talked to on the podcast. For context, Karl had to find an exit to his first startup at 15 because he wasn’t yet legally old enough to have the PayPal account to run it!

After recently raising his pre-seed round for his new freelancer start up @Revolancer from SFC Capital and now onto his next fundraising round, listen as he walks through The Switch Deck and gives a masterclass as to how an early stage founder can be self-directing through persistent leverage to counteract investor resistance and engagement.
