About This Podcast
UnicornPrn is the only podcast that peels back the glossy veneer of startup life and roasts it over a flaming pile of pitch decks 🔥
Hosted by Melissa Kwan and Lloyed Lobo, two founder friends who’ve seen the startup world from the inside out, upside down, and fully on fire. This show dives into what it’s actually like to build a company (spoiler: it’s not all oat milk lattes and billion-dollar exits).
We riff about all the things you wish you could say out loud but can’t (or won’t) — like investor horror stories, founder mistakes, and bloated valuations.
