Adam Burrows, co-founder of Range Ventures, breaks down the elusive keys to success of early-stage startup investing, from the qualities that set standout founders apart to the challenges of navigating today’s venture capital landscape. How do you know what to invest in when the company you’re investing in might barely have a product? The conversation explores common missteps in early startup fundraising, the hype and hazards of AI-driven investments, and the unique strengths of Colorado’s tech community. Burrows emphasizes the critical role of clearly communicating what your product does, noting, “If I get off a call with a founder and I don’t immediately understand what they’re doing, it’s a no.” His candid insights offer a rare look into the mindset of an investor who values both conviction and practical execution.
