Description

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ episode. Yaniv and Chris are fired up about bad VC investors, and they can't hold it in any longer!

Good Venture Capitalists help founders make the impossible, possible. They are the fuel that allows rocketships to defy gravity.

But bad VC investors will take a founder's dream and grind it into dust.

In this episode, Chris and Yaniv share the ways in which bad investors often undermine a founder's ability to pursue their vision. They then share tips how as a founder to look out for and defend against this type of "dumb money" investor, and how to show traction that is beyond just revenue.
