In 2015, this guy used his last $50 to start a podcast. Last month, he raised a $400M VC Fund. I spent 11 hours analyzing his content playbook. The result is a 23-minute breakdown: If you haven’t heard of him, here’s a quick overview: Harry Stebbings is the founder of 20VC. When he was 19, he wanted to enter the venture capital world. So he started the ‘20VC podcast’ from his bedroom. He planned to build relationships by interviewing investors and founders on his podcast. He had: • 0 industry experience • 0 connections • 0 credibility He spent the next 10 years interviewing 1000s of people, curating short, 20-minute episodes, and posting them online. Over time, his content started building trust beyond the conversations he was having 1on1. More and more founders and venture capitalists started reaching out to him. Then, in 2020, Harry raised his first $8.3M fund on the back of the media leverage he’d built. Fast forward to October 2024, he raised one of the biggest venture funds in European history at $400M - Harry is 28. Today, he has a 13-person media team that generates over 15 million monthly views for Harry and his brand. Content is the lifeblood of his business case. He even says 20VC is at “the intersection of media & venture capital”. I spent 11 hours breaking down his playbook and turned it into a 23-minute video where I cover: • the “Harry Stebbings Media Playbook” • the “Attention Flywheel” that yields 15M monthly views • how his 23-person media team helps his portfolio companies Check out the full breakdown here: https://lnkd.in/d-U_GjZ8

In contrast, venture capital firms emerge as robust entities, pooling resources from diverse investors to nurture startups 🎯 in exchange for equity stakes. Adam unveils a wealth of insights into the funding landscape, providing invaluable guidance on navigating the complexities of securing investments 🤝 for innovative endeavors. 🌟🚀🎯🔍🤝💡 🔗 Link to the full episode here: https://hubs.la/Q02BPjcp0

Raising capital isn't easy... It's a difficult dance with a little transparency and spotty communication. You hear "no" dozens of times for each "yes" you might receive. Appreciate Rupert McSheehy having me on the Fireside with Founders and Leaders podcast to share a few best practices on how to make the most of your time as a founder raising capital... 🚫 Disqualify quickly, it's important to quickly determine if an investor is a fit. ⏭ Understand what's next, and what the process is to get there 🙏 If it isn't a fit, thank them, and add them to your newsletter/quarterly updates Know what you're selling... it isn't a product, service or vision... it's trust. Raising capital takes time, and it's rooted in building deep founded relationships. It's not about a "yes" or "no" it's about building long term relationships 🌱 Grateful to have so many advisors, investors and mentors in our corner at Fiat Ventures and Fiat Growth. Raising capital isn't easy, but it's a lot of fun when you get to do it with great people around you.
