In this episode of the Talking To Investors podcast, I'm speaking with Daphne Postma, former fund manager at Triodos.

We discuss:
► The best win-win contract clause to boost your valuation
► The one thing to avoid at all costs if you don’t want stakeholders to hate you and ruin your exit
► How compromises can mess up your investment deal - and make you look stupid
► How your confidence can hurt your startup and when it’s crucial to rein it in
► That there’s more power in understanding a failure than in not understanding a success
► How not to respond when an investor adjusts your valuation downwards
► How to DD your investor and why you must
► Why bluffing your way through contractual discussions is a very bad idea - and the easy way to manage your knowledge gaps without losing the investor’s respect
► The ill effects of playing at being a founder - shit or get off the pot!
