"There's a million reasons for a company like Skip or Neo or Float or any business to not go anywhere. They get built by people who go 'I will go through every single rabbit hole, I will unearth every rock and I will prove that this business can exist or I will prove that it's impossible'"
– Rob Khazzam
On this episode of Behind the Brand, we speak with Rob Khazzam, Co-Founder and CEO of Float, an all-in-one corporate card & spend management solution that helps Canadian businesses control their spending. Float has raised a $37M Series A led by Tiger Capital and just announced $50M in Debt Financing in February of this year led by Silicon Valley Bank. Float enables businesses to eliminate employee reimbursements and expense reports, seamlessly pre-approve credit card expenses, and automatically collect receipts.
Prior to Float, Rob was the General Manager of Uber for Central and Eastern Europe, then Canada. In this episode we cover a lot of topics from how to go about defining a mission and vision for your team, how Float builds their products, and why you shouldn’t wait for Open Banking legislation.
