Magnus Grimeland and Ollie Purdue at Antler

Ollie Purdue is a 27-year-old partner at Antler which is an atypical global early-stage VC. Antler takes in exceptional individuals, have them form teams, and build companies during a 3-month grueling process. Upon completion, Antler invests in a handful of them, and they are on their way to make 180 investments this year alone.As a 20-year-old solo-founder, Ollie started Loot, a challenger bank that raised £12M over many funding rounds and had 250,000 users. After 5 years, with many things going sideways simultaneously as we will discuss, Loot eventually had to close down. Upon much reflection, Ollie has learned many great lessons about the world of startups that he conveys to other founders at Antler. Topics: Why you must think 5 years ahead as a founder.The funding tactics that work with angles that do not work with VCs.The future of challenger banks.The negative bias of an accelerator and how Antler separates itself.How to screen for the qualitative characteristics of a great founder.Links: Website: https://www.antler.co/LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/olliepurdueTwitter: https://twitter.com/Olliepurdue?s=20Books Mentioned: Shoe Dog by Phil Knight https://amzn.to/2HSMHB7Lifespan by David Sinclair https://amzn.to/3kTjsNePodcast mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGLL77wYxe8

#46: Ollie Purdue - Partner at Antler - Lessons From The Rise and Fall of Loot

In this episode What were you doing when you were 20 years old? Ollie Purdue was studying law…and founding a company to transform the banking experience. He didn’t want to be a lawyer, or a banker, but he did want to solve a problem facing many students: budgeting and forecasting how much money they’ll have and need every month. “At the time I was studying, I kept getting really frustrated with my bank account. It was just unable to tell me basic things about money, and that’s, kind of, what a bank’s meant to do, right?” Ollie says. “My bank wouldn’t tell me, when I got paid, how long that money will last. It wouldn’t tell me where I can cut down on my spending, and it wouldn’t tell me if my spending’s normal. So I was in a position where I never really understood my money, and I just didn’t get it, and then I tried budgeting apps and things like that, and they were really clunky…So it became really clear that a bank needed to be much smarter with data, and present that in a better way, and that’s kind of where it started.” Like FinTech Insider?
