Peter Saddington interviews Henry Kaestner of Sovereign's Capital, exploring the intersection of faith and venture capital. Kaestner discusses how his faith deeply influenced the corporate culture at bandwidth.com, prioritizing faith, family, work, and fitness. He reveals the initial challenges faced in Silicon Valley when investors were uncomfortable with their faith-driven approach. Kaestner differentiates between being willful and faithful, noting that early struggles raising capital were marked by willfulness rather than seeking God's guidance. He argues that faith-driven businesses can compete effectively, and Sovereign's Capital was founded to invest in entrepreneurs who seek to honor God.
