A lot of startups are facing a conundrum today when it comes to securing funding and raising capital. They’re finding that they don’t fit perfectly into a single vertical industry. This creates some friction when it comes to pitching to investors, and convincing them that your company is worth their investment.  Maybe you’re an infrastructure company who’s focused on technology, which causes the tech investors to view you as too boring for an investment, and the infrastructure companies to view you as too high of a risk.  So what do you do as a CFO looking to raise capital, and take your company from a startup to a successful established company? What are the pitfalls, and what should you avoid? What should you be focusing on?  On this episode of CFO Weekly, we sit down with Olga Shevorenkova. Olga is the Chief Financial Officer at EVgo. EVgo is a builder, owner, & operator of fast-charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, and they’ve gone from a startup to the largest US public fast charging network for electric vehicles. Olga had a lot of great things to say about her experiences raising capital for EVgo, her advice for companies that don’t fit into a single vertical industry, what it takes to make it to the fifth year as a startup, and advice for CFOs looking to move their companies from startups to established businesses.  For more interviews from the CFO Weekly podcast, check us out on Apple or Spotify or your favorite podcast player!  Presented by Personiv
