You know how politicians always find a way of not answering the question. You'd never do that would you? Well I did! Last week we had the opportunity to talk to a group of potential investors at a lunch organised by Block Dojo. A potential investor asked me a question... I was well prepared and gave him a great answer... but it wasn't the answer to the question he asked!!! Doh! Rookie mistake! Lesson learned. Listen carefully to the specific question and answer it. It really is that simple. #startups #cofounder #fundraising

Do you treat fundraising as a one-off? Then you probably get disheartened by every rejection email from an investor. Today, I want to help you shift your perspective and embrace fundraising as a process, instead of a one-off. This is part 2 of the video and I'd love for you to view it along-with the last video I posted. #startups #fundraising #venturecapital #growth

Taylor-Swifting the Angel economy. Putting $10B of permissionless capital in motion at Play Money. Firing up a truckload of female badassery on the side. 3x Founder, 3x Ironman, 4x Mom. I like my 🥃 neat.
VCs may be OOO, but they not like us. Founders are still hustling. Angels are still investing. I want to talk to a few founders with epic tales of raising from Angels and building in public. We are cooking up something fun at Play Money! Who should I talk to? #startups #angelinvesting #fundraising
