Let’s be honest—most founders are chasing traction without stopping to ask: Is this still what I want to build?

In this episode, I talk with Amit Garg, Managing Partner at Tau Ventures, about what it means to build a purpose-aligned business from the ground up. From launching a hospital in India to raising $86M for a venture fund, Amit shares what real alignment looks like.

🎧 You’ll learn:

• How to know if your business is actually venture-backable
• What founders get wrong about raising capital
• Why your pitch deck could be building a business you don’t want to run
• How to use purpose as your operating system
• Why public thinking is the new investor filter

If your business looks successful but doesn’t feel right, it’s time to reset. 👉 Work with A.J.
