Y-Combinator, $22 Million Raised, 3X Founder. We're in for a treat!


RSVP for tomorrow: We are joined by a 3x founder who just raised $20M+

Three-time founder Richard White compares launching a startup to playing an open-world video game.

It takes time to figure out what to do and how to do it. You need to learn the rules.

But when you’re dropped in for a second time, you arrive knowing how to play the game — “speed run it," he says.

In 2020, Richard stepped away from his previous startup UserVoice to establish Fathom, a AI app that records, transcribes and summarizes video calls.

After spending 13 years at UserVoice as CEO and raising more than $9 million, he was ready to do it, again.

As a seasoned founder, Richard found a fundraising groove that is a bit unconventional.

He has raised $5.5 million over the course of five small “party rounds” involving 90+ investors.

And he took Fathom to Y Combinator.

To date, he's now raised $22,000,000 for Fathom AI, and he's on his way to yet another successful company.

He's joining me for a private conversation on Wednesday (2 days!), so that all of you can come meet him and get some direct lessons from someone who did it.

Learn something from someone who’s done it before.
