Her Investor Promised $2.5 Million… Then This Happened | Dawn Dickson x Social Proof Podcast
1h 8m | Sep 14, 2026Dawn Dickson is back on the Social Proof Podcast to break down what really happens when ambition, money, investors, and entrepreneurship collide.
In this conversation, Dawn shares how she raised millions of dollars for PopCom, what happened when a major funding round fell apart, and how she was forced to make some of the hardest decisions of her career. She also opens up about investor relationships, burning through capital, losing money, getting scammed, moving to Africa, and rebuilding with a completely different mindset.
This episode is a real conversation about the side of entrepreneurship people usually leave out. Raising money does not guarantee success, growth can become dangerous, and sometimes the biggest lessons come after everything falls apart.
If you are building a business, raising capital, investing, or trying to figure out how to recover from a major setback, this episode is for you.
