Janine Grainger built conviction in a space most people didn’t know or trust. From raising NZ’s largest-ever first-round funding to leading through crashes, cutbacks, and global scrutiny, she grew Easy Crypto into a $3.5B platform before its exit to an Australian acquirer.

In this episode, we unpack what it takes to build credibility in volatile markets, the emotional reality of exiting a mission-led company, and how Janine quietly launched a skunkworks project during a bear market because it felt like the right thing to do. If you’re navigating uncertainty, leading with purpose, or thinking about the long game this conversation is invaluable.
