Founders that embark on a fundraise are often met with a mix of electrifying hope and gnawing doubts. In my coaching session with Nestor Solari, CEO of Sigo Seguros, we tap into that dichotomy, revealing the raw emotional journey founders undergo while chasing startup funding.
When you're in full on pitch mode, skepticism and pushback can throw you off your game. The negative emotions and stories that turn up are to be expected, but how we relate to them is what makes all the difference in our performance.
