On average, it takes startups 40-50 meetings to raise a $1M+ round of capital.
This investor often invests after just one or two meetings…
In our most recent episode of Beyond the Balance Sheet, Jace sat down with Eric Bahn, General Partner and co-founder of Hustle Fund.
They talk about Hustle Fund’s mission and the importance of cultivating community.
Hustle Fund focuses on investing in ridiculously early-stage startups and Eric shares some interesting insights into making decisions within one or two meetings, and providing initial funding quickly.
Eric shares some insider stories, like that of a company which started with a solo founder without a team and is growing at an incredible rate. He also mentions the Angel Squad community, which helps new investors learn and engage in the startup world.
Eric touches on the broader goal of making the tech ecosystem kinder and more inclusive. But he also criticizes the current startup culture of celebrating 'brilliant jerks' and shares how he thinks it should change.
It was a pleasure to have Eric on the podcast. Enjoy!
