Starting and closing a bank in 3 months!? On the latest episode of the Give First podcast, Brad Feld sits down with Bala Kamallakharan, founder of Startup Iceland and a catalyst behind the country’s modern startup community. In 2008, Bala moved to Mumbai to build a new Icelandic bank. Weeks later, Iceland’s entire financial system fell apart. His bank was nationalized overnight. His credit cards were canceled mid-flight. And within months, he was shutting down everything he had just built. What followed was a reset that changed his life. Back in Iceland with no clear plan, Bala started asking a simple question: What if the country could rebuild through founders? That question sparked Startup Iceland, early angel investments, a new wave of community-driven entrepreneurship, and eventually the Order of the Falcon, Iceland’s highest civilian honor. Bala shares lessons on: 🌋 What it feels like when a financial system collapses around you 🌟 Why uncertainty can open the door to reinvention 🌱 How belief in founders can reshape an entire country This episode is a masterclass in resilience, clarity, and what it means to give first when everything around you is uncertain. 🎥 Watch the episode: https://lnkd.in/e-NrVcyY 🎧 Listen to the episode: https://lnkd.in/eN2QTwCV
