Jinesh Vohra spent fourteen years at Goldman Sachs, then left to build Sprive. He raised £240,000 on a PowerPoint, didn't pay himself for four years, and built the wrong product first.
Today Sprive is at £12m ARR with 160,000 homeowners on the app. He's backed by three Dragons after his Dragons' Den pitch in February, and Sprive was the most downloaded financial app in the UK that week, ahead of Revolut, Monzo and Trading 212.
In this conversation he covers leaving a well-paying job, validating an idea while still in your day job, raising across many rounds, and why he thinks now is the best time to start a business.
