The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: Lime's CEO on Going from Losing $3 on Every $1 to $90M in EBITDA | How Lime Built the Global Leader in Micromobility When Competitors Went Bust | Losing 90% of Revenues in COVID and The Uber Deal That Saved the Company with Wayne Ting

But I think being generally in an up cycle, in an IPO pro cycle is probably helpful for an IPO. Do you think you were ready today? If the market was there, would you be ready to go out? I think there's probably still more work we need to do internally around things like accounting and controls that probably will take a bit more time to be ready.

I think Lime's business metrics is in a great spot. I think most of the things we got to get ready are around kind of internal controls, how fast we can close a book, how quickly can we like file at 10K, 10Q. the types of things that are necessary and critical to be a public traded company. But as a private company, you're not thinking about filing your 10Q in seven days after the quarter.

Harry, first, thank you for asking that. I actually, I've been pretty public about having had a stroke earlier this year, in part because when I was in the hospital recovering, I was like Googling around trying to find CEOs who've gone through something similar. And what was surprising to me was I found... not a ton of examples of CEOs talking about health struggles.

I think part of it is that when you do kind of a podcast where you do media, you want to put your best foot forward, whatever that means. And that doesn't mean talking about where people are struggling. And so I remember when I couldn't find a ton of examples, I remember thinking to myself, I need to go out there and talk about my health struggles more publicly. So it's less of a taboo.

I do think this has been the hardest year of my life on a personal basis. And I think the hardest thing is that when you suffer a stroke, like I still can't move my left arm and my left hand. There's a lot of like physical neurological ailments that you're struggling to get through. And I still remember the person I was and the person that

I still see myself as, but the person I am today sometimes isn't matching kind of my own self-perception. So I feel like a lot of my days are filled with disappointment, disappointment in myself, disappointment in how I perform.

I've really enjoyed this conversation with you, Harry, but I'm sure the second we get off this podcast, I will be very disappointed in myself in so many different ways, places where I didn't answer the question correctly. It's hard to go through a moment where you used to be this person and now you're a different person. You're still doing your very best, but those two things don't match up.
