TBC: Vulnerability in Fundraising

We all have stories we like to keep to ourselves for many reasons.

It’s uncomfortable to tell these stories because they may be a sign of weakness, a reminder of a terrible mistake, or that nobody would understand.

This is why many founders tend to adopt the “fake it til they make it” attitude.

This won’t work forever, though.

In this episode, Jason tells a couple of stories where a founder’s vulnerability was precisely what they needed to get their investors to understand them fully.

Tune in as we talk about what really goes into an investor’s mind when they hear about your problems, struggles, and mistakes.
