Summary

We’re joined by Suneera Madhani, Founder and CEO of Fattmerchant, a payment processing platform that has been dubbed the ‘Netflix’ of the credit card processing world by Fast Company. Suneera was named the ‘The Most Influential Woman in Payments' by Payment Source and has also been featured in Forbes, Fortune, INC Magazine, Huffington Post, and multiple high-profile publications. With over $5 billion in payments processed to date, it’s easy to focus on Sunnera’s success but like any entrepreneur knows, the road to success is never easy. Ridiculed and underestimated as a minority woman, Suneera takes us behind-the-scenes of her epic journey to becoming the powerhouse that she is today. From how she bootstrapped her business to raising over $20 million in venture capital, Suneera is sharing it all on The BossBabe Podcast. Get that glowy, dewy skin for yourself.
