Ep 10 - Kieran Greene - Founder & CEO of Shinka

In this episode of the Founders & Funding Podcast, Philip chats with Kieran Greene, Founder & CEO of Shinka, an adtech platform powering ultra-fast real-time advertising auctions.

Kieran shares his journey as a solo founder from bootstrapping and early debt financing to raising pre-seed and closing a seed round.

They discuss how investor expectations change at each stage, building a technical MVP without a co-founder, and why having a clear vision has been critical to Shinka’s growth.

A practical conversation for founders navigating early-stage fundraising and scaling technical products.
