In this candid conversation about what makes a successful founder, Roxanne sits down with prolific early-stage investor, Hunter Walk of Homebrew. Hunter shares that unlike many other VCs, he looks for more “steak” than “sizzle” when being pitched by founders. They discuss how both are important – and it’s crucial that a founder learns how to sell themselves and their company – but humility and substance are often underrated at the early stage. Tune-in and learn what makes a founder irresistible to an investor like Hunter, and why self-awareness and resilience are what take a founder from underdog to incumbent.
