Here is our latest Venture Wishlist substack: a conversation with Matt Gittleman, Investor at JH Ventures. Matt has a keen eye for early-stage opportunities and shares his insights on the ideas he’s excited to back — exploring trends in AI, data aggregation, supply chain and more. #venture #startups

Interview #2 is out today with investor Sheel Tyle of Collective Global Management! Take a look at his venture wishlist, along with other insights on what he's currently interested in. ✅

I’m excited to announce “Venture Wishlist,” a newsletter where early stage investors share the ideas and themes they want to fund. As a founder and investor, I’ve found that the most successful fundraising pitches happen when a founder is building a company that nails a thesis investors already have. For founders, we want to give them a better sense of the patterns and opportunities early stage investors see — so they can be better prepared in engaging with investors and the themes they are  excited to fund. Our first interview is with Daniel Kimerling, of Deciens Capital, someone I’ve invested with personally and is one of the most knowledgeable early fintech investors I know. https://lnkd.in/eTU8eRtZ #startup #vc #venture

👀 We're ready.

📣 Founders & friends of founders! Our Head of Innovation + Cofounder Taylor is doing FREE deck reviews with Solved to help founders be more successful. Submit a deck for valuable and concrete feedback before you go out and raise.

As an investor or founder, I often get asked “how do you know if a company will be successful?” While I can’t predict the future, at Purpose Built, we focus on customer demand. Right away, we look at whether there’s a problem big enough and painful enough where people are willing to pay to alleviate their issue. We talk to potential customers as much as possible  to validate or invalidate an idea. But getting in front of customers is hard. That’s why we built a highly effective outbound machine to reach varied segments. We reach thousands of customers each year on behalf of our founders. I’m excited to share that we’re opening up our playbook for cold outbound through Solved. Solved makes high-value business expertise available to anyone. If you’re interested, the link is in the comments!

Last year I spoke with hundreds of incredible people who were at all different points of their journey as entrepreneurs. And while there are so many different ways into founding a company, I'm really excited about what we at Purpose Built do to support founders at the very earliest stages of building a company. We're unique in that we work with founders pre- incorporation, oftentimes even pre-idea.
