I Spent 24hrs Raising $50M with This Startup Founder

What does it really take to raise millions of dollars? Check out this fundraising guide for your next startup 🔗 https://clickhubspot.com/2bfa8f I spent the day inside Order.co to see what it actually takes to raise a $50M Series C and scale a company at a critical inflection point. Order helps businesses buy and pay for everything they need in one place, eliminating approvals chaos, reimbursements, and messy vendor payments. In 2016, CEO Zach Garippa started Order.co alongside his co-founders Tom Jaklitsch and Matt Garippa. Now, Zach is grinding through early mornings, nonstop meetings, and high-stakes investor conversations that will determine the company’s next chapter. From waking up at 3:30am to follow CEO and co-founder Zach Garippa through his entire routine, to sitting down inside Order’s NYC office, I got a firsthand look at how the company grew to ~$40M in annual revenue, 300+ customers, and 40,000 vendors…and why raising this round is so critical to what comes next. If you stick around to the end, you’ll see how fast things can change at this stage (including how Order ultimately secured a term sheet shortly after we filmed) and why scaling a company isn’t just about vision anymore, but execution, resilience, and showing up every day ready to prove it works.
