The Capital Flex Podcast
We’re codifying the capital playbook—because no founder should have to learn the hard way.
Hosted by Naseem Sayani, VC and unapologetic truth-teller, The Capital Flex unpacks what really happens when female founders raise money inside systems not built for them. From bias in the room to predatory term sheets, these are the stories we usually hear in DMs not headlines.
Each episode offers unfiltered insight, real strategies, and a new playbook where we write the rules. Because the system won’t fix itself. But we will.
