What Was James Beshara's Own "below the Line" Story
at 1:38
Answer
A few years ago Beshara founded a company called Tilt. Although at one point it was valued at >400 million dollars and everyone was flying high, one day the company fell apart right before his eyes, eventually selling to Airbnb at a fraction of the capital.
It was a challenging experience, and it felt like no one else around James was through anything like that. Not until he got through that experience that he learned from founder after founder that such experiences are common, and there would have been plenty of people to help him along.
To make sure that other founders don't have to go through the same torturous experience, James started a podcast to share insight and wisdom for those who need it most.
