Hi y’all,

In this episode I go over how venture capital works, what motivates investors, and what kind of companies they go nuts over.

Why do some startups appear to raise money with zero effort while others try unsuccessfully for months?
What can founders do to maximize their chances of success?
Has raising money become easier over time?

If you liked the episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts :)

Thanks for listening,

David

Something Like That

I'm David Oates, twenty-something dropout and founder/CEO at Curtsy, the sustainable way to shop and sell clothes online. This is Something Like That, my new podcast where I share hot-off-the-press learnings from growing up and building Curtsy. The phrase "something like that" celebrates lack of precision in speech, aka, not sweating the details. Here we're all about getting it basically right (but not exactly). All stories are paraphrased, names of things often forgotten, and opinions certain to change. Join in the conversation @sltpod and subscribe to new episodes at https://sltpod.com.
