Building Great Companies Without Chasing Unicorns with Ethan Mayers
🧱 Growth Capital Podcast — Episode 84 🧱
Does every startup need to become a billion-dollar unicorn?
In this episode of the Growth Capital Podcast, host Justin Dixon sits down with Ethan Mayers, Venture Partner at Fairbridge, to challenge one of the biggest assumptions in entrepreneurship—that venture capital is the only path to building a successful company.
Drawing on his experience as a founder, investor, and advisor to startup ecosystems in more than 60 countries, Ethan explains why founders should focus on building businesses that fit their goals rather than someone else's definition of success. From venture capital and permanent capital to AI's impact on entrepreneurship, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what sustainable growth really looks like.
