Produced by Foundersuite (www.foundersuite.com), "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders who have raised capital. This episode is with Phil Libin of Mmhmm (https://www.mmhmm.app/), a communications company that is creating a better way to communicate via video — both in real-time and asynchronously. Phil previously founded note-taking app Evernote. He was also a VC at General Catalyst and co-founder of product studio All Turtles. In this episode, Phil talks about why he moved to Bentonville Arkansas from San Francisco, how he came up with the idea for Mmhmm, ways to be impressive to investors, thoughts on round timing, why speed of iteration is so critical, what he's doing differently now as an "older" founder, and much more. The Company recently raised $100 million from SoftBank’s Vision Fund, with participation from Sequoia Capital, Mubadala Investment Co., Human Capital, World Innovation Lab and others. How I Raised It is produced by Foundersuite, makers of software to raise capital and manage investor relations. Foundersuite's customers have raised over $3 Billion since 2016.
