Every founder on this show was one bad week from losing it all

Season two of The Big Idea starts now, and this is the year one that nobody puts in the highlight reel. Noah Glass was ready to sell Olo for $65 million in 2012. The deal died the morning his team expected their payouts. Olo later sold for $2 billion. Elizabeth Gore, co-founder and president of Hello Alice, brings back nine guests from season one: the retailer that told Dr. Dionne Laslo-Baker to come collect her own product, the 120 Super Bowl pretzel orders Adam Shapiro could not deliver, the armed guard at Helya Mohammadian's factory gate, and the question Katelin Holloway makes every founder answer before taking venture money.
