The Spark #3 - 'Covid hit and the bottom fell out of the investment market'
Julian Chesterfield, CEO and founder of Sunlight, and Kosten Metreweli, the organisation's chief strategy officer, tell Stuart Sumner about their journey attempting to grow a tech startup and secure funding during the global pandemic
The Spark is a new podcast from Computing where we speak to the founders of some of the world's most exciting and fastest growing companies.
Every startup is born from blood, sweat and tears, replete with extreme highs and lows and a constant stream of new threats and opportunities. The Spark aims to capture that drama, and find out what separates the companies and people that go on to find real success. What did they do differently, and what would even they change if they could go back?
In this episode Stuart Sumner speaks to Julian Chesterfield, CEO and founder of Sunlight, and Kosten Metreweli, the organisation's chief strategy officer.
They discuss the difficulties of growing a startup during a global pandemic, with a team in place incurring costs and the market slowing, and 'the bottom falling out of the investment market'.
