Look for resilience in startup founders and their team. Please ignore their skin color, gender, size, age, culture, etc. Let yourself be surprised by what actually makes great founders and startup team members. Have a look at their story to evaluate their resilience. What was their journey like? How much resilience have they shown over time to get to where they are at now. Value the challenges and longitude of their journey more than their current position and status. If they have come far, it's very likely they will go a lot further. That's potential! That's worth supporting and investing into.

I’ve been reviewing startups for the TechChill Fifty Founders Battle. To help founders shine even brighter, here are a few tips to level up your pitch: 1. Get to the point. What are you building, who’s it for, and why will it beat what’s out there? 2. Sell the team, not the resumes. Why are you the best team to solve this problem? 3. Be realistic about TAM. Near-term, bottoms-up, not pie-in-the-sky numbers. Show me the money. Where does this funding take you? What milestones will you hit? Nail these, and you’re already ahead of the pack. 🚀
