How to Make Storytelling Your Superpower: My Conversation with David Hornik


Listen Later

Welcome to December! And let me tell you, I come bearing gifts …

 

This fantastic conversation with one of the most influential Venture Capitalists in the Valley, Mr. David Hornik is going to help you become a better storyteller, a better pitcher of ideas, and best of all? It might even help you become a better human being. He’s *that* good.

David is a founding partner at Lobby Capital. For the last 25 years he has worked closely with technology entrepreneurs to help them build transformative businesses. Prior to founding Lobby Capital, David was a partner at August Capital for 20 years. David invests in a broad range of software companies, including enterprise application, infrastructure, and SaaS businesses (e.g, Splunk, Fastly, GitLab), financial technology companies (e.g., Bill.com, WePay, PayNearMe), and consumer services (e.g., Evite, Ebates, TopHatter).

In this conversation we cover:

  • The biggest mistakes start-ups make during pitches.
  • The biggest difference between men vs. women founders in how they “frame” market opportunities to investors.
  • How to use storytelling as an unfair advantage.
  • How to inject joy, fun, and authenticity into even the stuffiest of situations. 
  • Buckle up, my friends. Because a conversation with David is always my favorite journey to take.
