Nov 27, 12:00 – 1:30 AM (UTC)
A weekly open conversation where founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, and investors get direct insights into the world of venture capital. This is your chance to ask real questions about fundraising, startup growth, investing, market shifts, and the human side of building companies.
💡 What This Weekly Series Is About
The VC world is full of myths, closed doors, and unanswered questions.
This weekly AMA was created to remove the distance between founders and investors.
Whether you’re:
✅ building your first star tup
✅ preparing for a pre-seed, seed, or Series A round
✅ exploring investing on the side
✅ a student or future founder trying to understand how funding actually works - this space is for you.
Every week, you get direct access to our host VC along with special guests - angel investors, other VCs, and experienced founders, who answers real questions in real time:
How do investors decide who to fund?
What does a “good” pitch deck actually look like?
What are the red flags investors see that founders don’t?
How do market trends affect early-stage funding?
What happens after the investment — what do VCs really expect?
Can you raise money without a network, traction, or revenue?
What industries are investors genuinely paying attention to right now?
What’s the emotional + mental reality of building a venture-backed startup?
This AMA series is his way of giving founders open access to the knowledge most people only get behind closed doors.
