In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Rob Khazzam, CEO & co-founder of Float, to talk about what it really takes to build a business that challenges giants, rewrites the rules, and refuses to take no for an answer. Rob’s journey is relentless—from launching Uber in Eastern Europe to fighting through obstacles and raising $70M from Goldman Sachs to fix one of the biggest pain points in business: expense management.

🔥 Key takeaways from our conversation: ⚡ Speed wins. The fastest-moving companies out-innovate the biggest ones. 🎯 Customer obsession is the ultimate strategy. If customers love what you’re building, they’ll tell you exactly what they need next. 💰 Raising capital isn’t just about money. The right investors bring expertise, network, and alignment with your vision. 📈 Growth isn’t enough—it has to be sustainable. Rob and his team focus on profitable growth that delivers real value, not just vanity metrics. This isn’t just another fintech startup. Float is on a mission to take down the banks and put power back in the hands of businesses. And trust me—I’ve seen firsthand why so many companies (including mine!) are making the switch. #Fintech #Entrepreneurship #StartupGrowth #Leadership #ChallengerXPodcast #Saas #boomerangfx
