In this episode of The Capital Raiser Show, Ankita Narula of Akshaya Patra USA leads a deep and insightful conversation with Vinodh Bhat, Co-Founder of Saavn (now JioSaavn) — India's leading music streaming platform acquired by Reliance Industries.

Vinodh shares candid, hard-earned lessons from his journey as a tech entrepreneur, investor, and board advisor across multiple ventures, including:

• Building a startup through multiple failures before reaching 100M+ users

• How a strategic partnership with Google skyrocketed Saavn's growth

• Lessons from raising $290M in venture capital — after 200 rejections

• Why understanding tailwinds vs. headwinds can make or break a company

• How technology can solve massive societal problems at scale

The conversation also explores philanthropy through innovation, as Ankita highlights how Akshaya Patra feeds over 2 million children per day in India through technology-driven logistics and operational excellence.

This fireside chat connects two worlds — high-growth tech entrepreneurship and high-impact philanthropy — offering actionable insights for:

• Founders scaling in emerging markets

• Venture builders navigating product-market fit

• Donors and non-profits looking to apply tech thinking to real-world problems

• Capital raisers learning how to create momentum and align with the right backers

In this episode of The Capital Raiser Show, I sit down with Michael & Samantha Guthrie of Pacific Capital LLC — founders who scaled one of the largest independent ATM networks in the country to an 8-figure exit.

We cover the exact strategies that helped them:

• Think differently in a wholesale-driven model

• Partner instead of compete in a saturated market

• Navigate a successful industry-timed exit

• Negotiate smart by creating a multi-buyer dynamic

• Reinvest post-exit into private lending, passive income, and tax-efficient assets

We also talk about how they approach capital raising today, the mindset that helped them scale lean with just four employees, and the "PITA Principle" that helped streamline operations before their exit.

If you're a founder, family office investor, or dealmaker trying to build something real, this conversation is packed with hard-won insights and tactical advice from two entrepreneurs who've lived it — and exited successfully.

🎯 Key Topics Covered:

• Structuring scalable partnerships in niche industries

• How to use early deal conversations to create exit leverage

• The #1 thing that helped them grow to eight figures

• Exit timing vs. industry consolidation

• Real estate lending trends and capital flow

• Why listening is your best capital raising strategy

In this episode of The Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson sits down with Paul Hutchinson, co-founder of a multi-billion dollar real estate investment fund, founder of the Child Liberation Foundation and Liberating Humanity, and primary investor/executive producer of the film "Sound of Freedom."

Paul shares how he went from a $20M exit in his 20s, to losing hundreds of thousands on his first real estate deals, to ultimately building a multi-billion dollar multifamily platform by bringing in world-class partners, managing risk, and operating with uncompromising integrity through the 2008 crisis.

He also opens up about his decision to commit 10–20% of his income and time to philanthropy early in life, how that shifted his opportunities, and the core mindset that makes someone truly effective at raising capital. Then Paul dives into his undercover work rescuing children, the real story behind "Sound of Freedom," what families actually need to know about trafficking risk, and why he now focuses on global healing and trauma-release through Liberating Humanity and transformational retreats.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How Paul built and sold his first company (anxiety and mental health education) for $20M before age 30

• Why he lost money on his first real estate deals and the specific pivot into B-class multifamily that changed everything

• How bringing in "overqualified" partners (ex–Citigroup leadership, global capital raisers) turned a good firm into a multi-billion dollar fund

• The role of integrity during the 2008 crisis and how not losing principal created 48% IRR years and long-term investor trust

• Why committing 10–20% of income and time to giving early can radically change your deal flow, relationships, and opportunities

• The inside story of Paul's first undercover rescue mission, the making and distribution journey of "Sound of Freedom," and practical ways to better protect your own children

If you want to go deeper into capital raising, integrity-based deal structures, and building a life that actually makes a global impact, this conversation will challenge how you think about money, mission, and what "success" really looks like.
