Startup Fundraising: Crafting the Pitch, Building Trust & Ownership Auction – E554


Listen Later

Jeremy Au discussed how pitching, trust, and fundraising work. He explained that pitching is about expressing a future others can believe in, not just raising money. He shared how traction builds trust, why capital must be chosen carefully, and how great founders turn investor interest into leverage. Drawing on examples like Rewind.ai and BenchSci, he laid out what separates good pitches from great businesses.

  1. Pitch to clarify thinking: Saying your plan out loud invites feedback and sharpens your logic.
  2. Traction builds trust, not slides: Focus on customer milestones first—VCs only glance at decks.
  3. Trust is built, not assumed: Show credibility, deliver reliably, be warm, and care beyond yourself.
  4. Keep small promises: Reliability grows when you do what you say, even with tiny tasks.
  5. Say yes to help: Accepting offers like coffee builds closeness and rapport.
