Introducing The Unshaakeables: Bootstrapping Clean Energy with Vessyll
Hi Stuff to Blow Your Mind Listeners, we wanted to share an episode from the The Unshakebales we think you'll like. A few years ago, Zahra Hargens-Illiff discovered batteries light her up. She built her own battery prototype in her garage and hit the VC circuit. But after a series of disappointing rejections, she took matters into her own hands and bootstrapped her first few products. A decision that took a lot of courage but one that is paying off. Join Ben Walter and Kathleen Griffith as they chat with Zahra about a clean energy future. Discover what it takes to actually build a battery prototype and hear about the grant that almost launched her company (but ended up costing her $17,000). Zahra also has one of the best entrepreneurial coping mechanisms Ben has ever heard. These are The Unshakeables. Listen and Subscribe to The Unshakeables wherever you get podcasts.
