David Cohen and Chris Heivly brought us home yesterday to round out our three part fundraising series x Boyd Innovation Center, powered by GrowCo. My personal favorite takeaways: 💥 Re: why an investor will want to invest: TEAM > everything. Be more attached to the problem than attached to the solution. 💥 Re: loneliness on the entrepreneurial journey: surround yourself with a great support system, ideally through co-founders. Immerse yourself in community through your local startup community, uni alum network, accelerator programs, etc. 💥 Re: transparency from investors: ask them their two biggest success stories + two biggest failed investments. 💥 Re: the biggest mistake founders make: pre-investment: forgetting to ASK for the investment post-investment: not communicating enough and not asking for help Find the humans that believe in YOU and your idea. Have some fun along the way too. #GrowCola
