We're switching things up and bringing you two interviews this week, so let's niche down to a single person, think about their work and unpack the rest.

Mary Ann took the lead this time, and she sat down (virtually) with Immad Akhund, the CEO and co-founder of Mercury. For those who are unfamiliar, the fintech made headlines earlier this year for how it stepped in to help fill the business banking void left in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank's collapse. 

Here's what the pair caught up on:

  • Mercury's impressive growth in the months since SVB crashed
  • Lessons learned from Immad's angel investing experience
  • What Immad calls the "Startup Death Spiral" and how to escape it

As always, Equity will be back for you bright an early Monday morning. Talk soon!
