Built a $60M Startup at 21, Raised $50M After Dropping Out Of Uni, & The Coffee Chat That Changed Everything! - DR2 Founder, Akhil Gadde
Can a coffee chat change your life? Do mentors choose their mentee first? And can a 21 year old really run a $60 million HealthTech company? Here’s your answer.
Akhil Gadde is the co-founder of DR2, a health tech company that acquired Australia’s largest after-hours doctor services and scaled to over $60 million in revenue, just two years after launch.
In this episode of Chew the Fat, Akhil shares what it’s like acquiring a 200-person company at 20 years old, securing a $20M+ loan from Commonwealth bank having only studied first-year accounting and why he still battles imposter syndrome despite raising $50M.
“Am I more likely to regret doing the thing, or not doing the thing?” … this question has guided Akhil’s most important decisions in life, and it’s one every founder needs to hear.
