Episode Synopsis

🎙️ Episode 8 is live! This time we sit down with Sean Nasiri — Silicon Valley native, entrepreneur, and family office investor — to explore what makes founders stand out when raising capital.If you’re pitching investors or trying to understand how family offices think differently than VCs, this one’s for you.What do we cover?1. Storytelling is everything. Founders who can’t tell a clear, compelling story rarely get far. Storytelling is not just for fundraising — it’s how you win customers and recruit top talent.2. Recruiting is part of the pitch. Investors want to see if you can attract senior talent — sometimes even from your biggest competitors. If you can’t sell the vision to potential hires, how will you scale?3. Vision creates FOMO. Investors see hundreds of pitches. The founders who win are those who paint a convincing picture of where the company will be in 24 months and beyond. It’s not about being “right,” it’s about showing you’ve thought through the future.Sean also shares how family offices approach deals differently than traditional VC funds, what signals they look for, and when it makes sense (or doesn’t) to raise from them.🎧 Tune in for a candid perspective on fundraising, storytelling, and building conviction with investors.
