In this episode of the Perfectly Mentored podcast, host Jason Portnoy engages with his guest, Andrew D'souza, to explore innovative funding models that offer more than just capital to startups and established businesses alike. The discussion highlights the unique value proposition of equity-free funding and how it attracts founders seeking financial support and strategic guidance to grow their businesses. Andrew shares insights from advising over 25,000 companies, emphasizing tailored advice on marketing strategies, conversion rate optimization, and navigating the evolving digital advertising landscape. They introduce "Clear Angel," a new program designed to support early-stage companies with funding and coaching without taking equity.
