E446 – Current & Critical – Bryan de Lottinville, Navigating Challenges and Triumphs: Building Benevity and Promoting Social Impact
“We have to maintain our appetite for innovation and iteration and evolution and just not get complacent about a market leadership position.”
During Benevity’s growth, Bryan transitioned from angel investors who weren’t as involved as institutional investors, from whom Benevity began receiving funds. Bryan notes how many incredibly smart investors there are but shares that he struggled to take on their expert advice because they lacked the same entrepreneurial boots-on-the-ground background. In addition to scaling, Bryan shares how he went from founder to CEO to stepping back into a board role and appointing Benevity’s first female CEO to take the reins. This episode will inspire you to keep building your dream business and provide Benevity’s road map to success.
