Between Two Founders #3: Mercury Co-founder & CEO Immad Akhund
Mercury co-founder and CEO Immad Akhund sits down with Jeff Seibert, co-founder and CEO of Digits, to share behind-the-scenes challenges while building a category-defining company.
Hear how Immad grew Mercury from a neo-bank to a modern fintech stack that does so much more, all while surviving fintech winter and navigating an ever-evolving regulatory landscape.
Founded in 2017, Mercury is the fintech that ambitious companies use for banking* and all their financial workflows. With over 200,000 customers, Mercury was last valued at $1.62 billion when it raised a $120 million Series B round in 2021.
Prior to founding Mercury, Immad was the CEO and co-founder at Heyzap, a mobile developer tools company, which sold for $45m in 2016. He is an active investor in Silicon Valley and has invested in 350+ seed-stage startups including Airtable, Substack, and Rappi.
Join Jeff and Immad as they explore the intricacies of building a high-impact fintech company and scaling a business in the face of intense competition. They will discuss topics such as the challenges of building a product, finding PMF, balancing growth & profitability, and the fintech landscape as a whole.
