Mario Schlosser On Raising $2.2 Billion To Build A Tech-Driven Health Insurance Company, Making Good Health Accessible And Affordable For All

Author: Alejandro Cremades October 19, 2024 Duration: 39:14
Mario Schlosser's story resonates with entrepreneurs navigating the complexities of building companies across different cultures, facing financial hardships, navigating board dynamics, and even being fired from their own startups. Mario's latest venture is Oscar Health that has raised funding from top-tier investors like Lakestar, Alphabet, Coatue, Baillie Gifford, and Reinvent Capital.

Alejandro Cremades has spent his career in the trenches of startup finance, and in his DealMakers: Entrepreneur | Startups | Venture Capital podcast, he brings that direct experience to every conversation. As a serial entrepreneur, author, and cofounder of an M&A and fundraising advisory firm, he knows the precise questions that uncover the real story behind a transaction. Each episode moves beyond surface-level success tales to examine the mechanics, negotiations, and pivotal decisions that actually lead to a closed round or a company sale. You'll hear founders and investors detail their specific strategies, the obstacles they faced during due diligence, and the moments where a deal nearly fell apart. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a practical, weekly look at how capital flows and companies change hands, hosted by someone who has both advised on and lived through the process. For anyone building a business or investing in one, this podcast provides an unfiltered audio guide to the complex, human-driven world of making deals happen.
