Here we go folks, let's do it again! Episode Two of my AI-generated podcast series is here. This one’s all about the incredible insights delivered from the keynote stage at the Lesbians Who Tech & Allies NYC Summit last week, from some of the greats in women’s sports. These athletes are not just rewriting the playbook but tossing the old one out the window and building a new, values-driven, community-powered future. ⚽🏀🎙️ At Mach49 Sports Ventures, we’re all about shaking up the game and finding new ways to unlock value for athletes, fans, and communities. So naturally, this episode hits home. Here’s what the robots* cover: 1️⃣ Megan Rapinoe & Sue Bird were interviewed by none other than Kara Swisher. They are in a mission and it’s not just to win championships (although, you know, they’ve won a few of those). These two are reshaping what it means to be an athlete, taking charge of their financial futures, and taking a seat at the owner's table. 💰💪 2️⃣ Kari Fleischauer and Angel City Football Club are redefining what it means to be a sports franchise. They’re not just about the game—they’re about community, inclusivity, and putting their money where their mouth is.  3️⃣ And Crystal Dunn and Merritt Mathias talk about how women in the NWSL have fought to make material change with a groundbreaking Collective Bargaining Agreement. It’s not just about the wins—it’s about ownership, autonomy, and making the game work for the players. 🏆 The future of women’s sports is looking bright—and not just because of the record-breaking viewership and investment pouring in. It’s because they’re showing us all a better way to do business. At Mach49 Sports Ventures, we see this same opportunity in sports as a whole. Whether it’s empowering athletes or building purpose-driven ventures, we’re here to help rewrite the rules—and we’re only getting started. *The podcast was generated using Google NotebookLM.

Fundraising for a healthtech or biotech company in 2024 or 2025? Here's some very actionable advice... Dr. James Somauroo recently caught up with Gian Seehra, a former biotech entrepreneur and VC, who shared some real-world, no-nonsense advice on how healthtech founders can ace their fundraising game for a Q&A. Here’s the TLDR: (get the full Q&A at the link and there's even a podcast) 💰 Yes, your deck needs to be polished, but don’t get too hung up on it. Remember that it's just your ticket to the next round... a meeting. The real win comes from a strong narrative and a solid network. The process to building both are in the article. 💰 Think of fundraising like a marathon, not a sprint. Spend time warming up your network, practicing your pitch, and refining your story. A well-prepped founder is a formidable force. 💰 Investors aren’t just looking at numbers, they’re looking at you. Engage in conversations, tailor your pitch to what matters to them, and most importantly, follow up promptly. This isn’t just about selling your idea; it’s about building relationships. We go through common pitfalls on the podcast. 💰 If things aren’t going as planned, don’t drag it out. Learn, pivot, and keep moving. Sometimes a “party round” with multiple investors is the way to go. Learn what that is and how to do it in the article / on the podcast. 💰 Investors are more cautious these days, so be realistic with valuations and laser-focused on your business fundamentals. And there are many alternative funding options to explore to keep things moving forward... Gian’s advice is a masterclass in fundraising without the fluff... Practical tips one after the other to help you win in a tough market. You'll find knowledge 💎 a-plenty and more in depth explanations from Gian in the article and The Healthtech Podcast episode.
