Conscious Company Magazine: Why Founders Should Stay and Become Investors in Their Own Community
Insurmi founder and CEO Sonny Patel is of a new generation of entrepreneurs faced with the reality that venture capitalists (VC) are reigning in risk and no longer placing bets without seeing significant headway first.

Sonny shares why prioritizing relationships and securing funding from local investors is a stepping stone to gaining trust from more prominent VCs down the road in Conscious Company Magazine here.
