Miguel Armaza sits down with Trisha Kothari, CEO/Co-Founder of Unit21, a company at the forefront of the fight against financial crimes. Founded in 2018, Unit21 has raised close to $100M from Google, ICONIQ Capital, Tiger Global, Core Innovation, and a number of great angel investors.

We discuss:

• Finding Unit21’s initial design partners and how they eventually landed Coinbase and Intuit as their first and second customers
• Founder-led sales and common mistakes on building an enterprise sales team
• What she learned about fraud and company building as a young engineer and product manager at Max Levchin’s Affirm
• How financial fraudsters are creative, coordinated, and quick… and a lot more!
