In this session, Anthony shared invaluable insights on: 1. Key elements of an effective pitch to investors. 2. Common early mistakes founders make. 3. Benefits of SEIS/EIS for early-stage founders and investors. 4. And much more!

I knew that TECH WEEK by a16z would be a challenge with its huge distances, so I prepped in advance and booked events close to each other. Yesterday, I attended a great panel on pitching, capital, and the realities of building a startup. One key takeaway was the importance of pitching big, ambitious ideas. Instead of focusing too much on the details or validation early on, that’s important to have and to lead with the bigger vision — the long-term impact and potential your idea can achieve. People invest in big dreams, and we should feel confident presenting that vision from the start. Also I love the part of conversation around capital. It’s not just about raising money; it’s about building something sustainable and scalable. It’s critical to frame your business in terms of growth and longevity. Capital isn’t just about getting to the next step — it’s about creating a solid foundation for future success. Another major insight was about the pipeline. When you’re in the world of startups, you have to understand that fundraising is an ongoing process. It doesn’t stop after the first round, and the journey continues until you reach a successful exit. Being prepared for this constant momentum is key to surviving and thriving in the startup world. Thank you Ellevoy Melinda Wittstock CEO Founder Podopolo, Entrepreneur, Podcaster Tessa Adams Naseem Sayani (she/her) Jennie Blumenthal and Candice Edwards for reminding that the path to success is a marathon, not a sprint, and the insights shared really drove that home. #LATechWeek #TechWeek2024
