What does it really take to raise £115 million and support underfunded founders? In this episode of FounderMetrics, Ifty Nasir speaks with David B. Horne, founder of Add Then Multiply, creator of the FACE model (Fund, Acquire, Consolidate, Exit), and an advocate for female-led businesses. From raising capital for public companies to launching his own ventures, David shares powerful insights on what makes a business investable and scalable.

He also opens up about his failed wine startup, lessons learned from being a CFO, and his mission to challenge the funding gap for female founders through the Funded Female Founders initiative. With plans to raise £1M to acquire and scale 5–7 female-led companies, this conversation is packed with strategies, mindset shifts, and truths about fundraising, ownership, exits, and growth.
