Chris Dalrymple was one of three co-founders at Mina, a tech startup who transformed a niche electric vehicle charging problem into a successful exit in less than five years.

Discover how Mina solved a problem few knew existed: accurately tracking and paying for home charging of electric fleet vehicles. Learn why expertise matters more than cash, how to survive a two-year corporate sales cycle, and why your most challenging early customers might just be your greatest teachers.
Chris shares candid insights about startup culture, the emotional rollercoaster of acquisition, and why looking after your people is the ultimate business strategy.
Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or a seasoned founder, this episode offers practical wisdom from the trenches of tech innovation.
