Cozy Ventures’ Post

In preparation for my next article, I would like to know what you would like to know regarding clarifying how you communicate and sell your product vision, or business vision.

NYC founders - Pitch event for early stage founders happening this Monday, where you'll get to pitch Sherveen Mashayekhi and Jenny Fielding (Mg. Partner @ Everywhere Ventures, prev. MD @ Techstars NYC) and get invaluable feedback. (Invite text is from Sherveen Mashayekhi with permission to share) If you were with us last week for the early stage venture event, then you know how awesome the founder pitching + feedback was for the last half of that event. That's why Monday is a dedicated pitch event for seed and pre-seed founders. Jenny won't write anyone a check on the spot, but it's a chance to have her full attention in front of a room of supportive founders. Approved founders get 1 minute to concisely pitch their startup. Then, Jenny and Sherveen will deliver brutally honest feedback about the pitch and the concept itself. No need to prepare. This is about the pitch that already lives in your heart, head, and throat. It's practice, refinement, and a pitch to a check-writing VC. If you're an early stage founder in NYC, you cannot miss this opportunity. Sign up to pitch here. https://lnkd.in/gJngyuNd

“I had that same idea! And they made hundred millions dollars on it.” You said that after seeing that new mobile app in the market. After using successful products, you think: “That’s a simple product – I could have built it.” This is the problem. You have ideas, and don’t do anything about them. You think about the perfect time/conditions and wait for everything to fall in place. The guys who made that successful product? - they had the idea, went to work, hustled, and got it done. Founders, creators, all of us, have the same 24 hours in a day. The difference is that they make action a priority. You don’t. They make time. You waste time. They’re focused. You’re distracted. They dreamt it and did it. You keep daydreaming. Building a business/product is uncomfortable. It’s a sacrifice—a massive opportunity. But inaction keeps you paralysed. So, the next time you have an idea, think of your two choices: 1) keep it as an idea and let it rot. 2) or embrace the suck and build that damn product The choice is yours.
