What does it take for an investor to say YES? We asked Daniel Wisenhoff (Minc alumni, ex-founder Debricked, now Venture Partner at node.vc), for the real talk on what makes or breaks a pitch. ❗ Spoiler: No magic shortcuts. It takes solving a real problem, putting in the work, and proving you can deliver. But it’s an important reminder all founders need to hear now and then.  Watch the video & tell us—what’s the best (or worst) investor advice you’ve ever gotten? 

If our walls could talk, they’d say: "Apply now."

Most founder-led deals fail because you’re talking to the wrong people. 💡 Key takeaways from B2B SaaS sales guru Alexis Podolny 🚀 masterclass at Minc: Buyers vs. Shoppers If they can’t say YES, don’t waste your time.
