How to build relationships with investors before raising capital (Mel Fyfe Blakthumb)
Description
Mel is the Co-Founder of Blakthumb. Blakthumb is a tech company that provides an intuitive end-to-end operating system for cultivators and producers of cannabis and food. They are driven by their mission to build resilient communities with better food security through the power of decentralised production.
Mel spent almost 20 years in senior positions in government and local government before she decided to use her knowledge to change cannabis and food production systems.
In this episode, you'll hear Mel share why decentralised food production (think growing crops in office buildings) is the way of the future; how she managed financial insecurity when she started working in Blakthumb full time and how she nurtured relationships with prospective investors years before Blakthumb started raising capital.
