In this episode of Resillience with Jason Saltzman, the Entrepreneur Network partner talks with Yuni Sameshima, the CEO of Chicory. The New York-based company creates advertising for grocery chains and e-commerce grocery companies.

In 2016, the company was completing a round of fundraising, when suddenly their investor suddenly backed out and was never heard again. Sameshima talks about a time of uncertainty when it seemed the business was just a month away from going totally broke.
