Seeking Growth

Michael Momsen and Zabi Rawan

Startup advice usually sucks. Founders bragging, vague lessons and little reality. We built Seeking Growth because you deserve better. Michael scaled Zipline.io from idea to over $10m VC funding —through 3 PMF pivots, expanding to the USA (and retreating!) and building A-player teams. He shares the raw truth with no fluff.
