Wild Hearts is a podcast dedicated to sharing the real stories of founders - the passionate few taking giant leaps forward.
Every second Wednesday, our own Mason Yates uncovers the stories of founders navigating their way through the ups and downs of building a business. Founder narratives often profile the big winners after they’ve done the hard yards, but you won’t find that here. Instead, we’ll share lessons from founders who are knocking at the door of success, those on the front line of innovation, the ones in the weeds with their customers, the learn it alls. The founders with laser-focused, unrelenting ambitions. The wildest hearts with the wildest of ideas.
If you want to hear from those founders, then this podcast is for you. We’ll also hear from the investors who have backed them - the first believers trying to earn a courtside seat to the best business stories of our time. Each episode, these investors will share their everything from first impressions of the founders, to what made their story worth investing in. At Blackbird, we believe those in the front row seat have the best view of the game, and the right context to make great investment decisions.
