概要
What does it take to get laid off 3 times, hear 100 investor nos, and still build one of the most important networking companies in Silicon Valley history?
In this episode of Buy Build Exit, we sit down with Kanwal Rekhi — the first Indian-American founder to take a VC-backed company public on a U.S. stock exchange. He founded Excelan, merged into Novell as EVP & CTO, backed 200+ companies (including 6 IPOs and 20+ acquisitions), and co-founded TiE, one of the most powerful entrepreneurial networks on the planet.
Kanwal breaks down what separates founders who get acquired at a premium vs. ones who get lowballed, why becoming profitable is a declaration of independence, what he looks for in founders that no pitch deck can show, and why he passed on Hotmail — and what that taught him about asset value.
This one is for every first-gen founder who's ever felt behind, overlooked, or told no.
