[15:50] "Debt can be a great tool if you know your growth trajectory and have the revenue to support it. It’s all about understanding your risk tolerance."
[28:04] "One common mistake SaaS founders make is not aligning their funding strategy with their business goals. It's critical to have a clear plan and stick to it."
