Onto our first episode...

Instead of raising capital and driving growth, many are starting to rethink their strategy to increase operational efficiency and expense reduction. Recession-Proof co-hosts Kimia Hamidi, Head of Savings at Ramp and Alex Song, VP of Finance & Capital Markets, join us today to discuss how to save cash, control expenses, and still focus on growth, despite economic headwinds.
