Listen "The First Investor: How to Find That One Yes"
Episode Synopsis
Getting your first 'no' as a founder is a rite of passage. Getting your 99th 'no' feels like the end of the world. But how do you find that one person who gives you the first 'yes'? That first, life-changing check that proves your idea isn't crazy?Welcome to "The First Investor." This isn't about raising a 100-million-dollar Series C; this is a pragmatic, solo-founder playbook for the toughest round of all: the first one. We'll break down how to find and approach angel investors (and why they're different from VCs), how to craft the perfect 30-second pitch script, and the mindset you need to survive the process. Drawing on lessons from Y Combinator's Paul Graham and successful founder diaries, this is your step-by-step guide to turning a 'maybe' into a signature.
