Ep. 21 - What If Your Life's Work Was Solving Society's Hardest Problem?

Ep. 21 - What If Your Life's Work Was Solving Society's Hardest Problem?

Alex Frommeyer was completely out of money when he crashed a Kentucky Derby party, cornered two Sequoia-backed VCs over a mint julep, and walked out with a meeting that saved his company. That is just one chapter of his story.

Over 14 years, Fro built Beam Benefits from a smart toothbrush into a real force in the employee benefits space. He ran out of money twice, got fired as his own CEO, and laid off two-thirds of his team before Beam hit $1M ARR in six months. Now, as Founder and CEO of Stack Health, he is starting over on a bigger, harder problem.

Warner Moore sits down with Fro for one of the most honest founder conversations on Project Gamma yet.
