The Feedback Loop is all about getting ambitious founders on stage to pitch and get unfiltered feedback from experienced, honest investors.

Because the thing that can hold even the best founders back from reaching their ambition? Their pitch. Whether a startup founder is raising money, recruiting a team, or selling their product, it's the pitch at the start of any given conversation that starts them on a journey to success.

On Episode 026 of The Feedback Loop! Live shopping, "real" co-working, AR/VR collaboration, and a group dinner matchmaking.

As always, hosted by Sherveen Mashayekhi, Founder & CEO of Free Agency. Follow him on X at @Sherveen.

​Today's guest investor is Charley Ma, an operator-turned-investor. Since 2021, he's been the Co-founder and Managing Partner of Exponent Founders Capital, a $125M early stage fund that has invested in companies like Apollo, Chronosphere, Unit, and many more.

Prior, he led growth at canonical fintech companies like Plaid, Alloy, and Ramp. He's helped build several unicorns, and now he's on the hunt for the next few to fund! Follow him on X at @charleyma.
