In this episode of AIBiz, host Avik Chakraborty dives into one of the most overlooked realities in entrepreneurship: most businesses don’t fail because of a lack of funding—but because they misunderstand their own numbers. Financial expert Stan Sukhinin joins the show to expose the real reasons businesses bleed money, how to identify dangerous blind spots early, and why chasing funding is often the wrong move. Stan, who once managed a $450M loan portfolio and later lost it all during the pandemic, now helps founders build financially resilient businesses.
About the Guest:
Stan Sukhinin is a seasoned financial strategist with 18+ years of experience, from board-level leadership at billion-dollar companies to advising early-stage founders. After launching and losing a hedge fund during COVID, he pivoted to his true purpose—helping entrepreneurs understand their numbers and protect their financial future. He specializes in financial systems, business model diagnostics, and capital efficiency.
Key Takeaways:
Most founders wrongly believe capital is their first business need—it's not.
Cash flow doesn't tell the whole story; margin health and capital efficiency matter more.
Bookkeepers and accountants often don’t deliver strategic financial insight.
Profit doesn't pay bills—cash flow does.
A founder should regularly audit their business model with an outside expert to avoid financial delusion.
