Summary

Serial entrepreneur turned VC, Justin Gray, joins Alejandra to unpack how he built LeadMD from a bedroom idea to $17M in revenue, exited at the top of the market, and why his operator-immersive VC model bets on singles, doubles, and triples, not unicorn lottery tickets. We get tactical on making revenue predictable, using equity to retain A-players, diagnosing a real pipeline (not hope), and knowing when it’s time to sell emotionally and operationally. If you’re scaling a services or vertical SaaS company, this is your masterclass.

You’ll learn: bootstrapping vs. VC, GTM hiring that actually works, partner ecosystems that spark M&A, and how to prep your business so buyers believe your forecast.
