Getting investment into your idea and making it a success is hard. So how do you actually get investors on board, scale smart, and make noise in a crowded market?

This week, Tanya and Gordon sit down with James Sutherland, the visionary founder & CEO of Autonomo Technologies, the AI-powered game-changer shaking up retail. Autonomo’s cutting-edge system allows stores to run without staff, unlocking high-tech convenience in places traditional retail just couldn’t go.

From his early days at Mars Inc. to building multimillion-dollar food factories, and now leading a great retail tech startup, James brings sharp insight and straight talk.

In this episode, we uncover:

• James’ tips on how to prepare for those crucial investment meetings
• How Autonomo stores operate and mitigate things like theft
• The real deal on being an entrepreneur (spoiler: it’s not all yachts and TED Talks)
• Why investors say yes, and how to make sure they hear about you
• How a corporate background can be your secret startup weapon
