In our latest episode on the Practical Nerds podcast, Patric and I talk about our earned learnings on how founders (and other VCs) should choose the right (Co)Investors for their startup (Construction-tech or otherwise). Which of these do you agree with ? What did we miss ?

In this episode: ✔ Transform VC prioritizes tech founders with transformative potential ✔ Deep tech’s role in addressing social & climate challenges ✔ VC going beyond capital with mentorship, networks & market insights ✔ How to align with impact-driven investors Tune in 👇🏼

Founders are often told that to fundraise effectively, they should meet with VCs before they plan to fundraise and focus on building relationships with them... But how early is too early? What stage makes the most sense to take you first meeting? How do you build relationships with VCs who are so time poor when you're not actively fundraising? For Ep190 of The Startup Playbook Podcast I sat down with Rampersand VC partner, Taryn Pieterse. In this clip from the podcast, Taryn shares what this looks like from a VC's perspective using the example of how Chaz Heitner and Adam Jacobs introduced and built a relationship with Taryn and Rampersand over a 12 month period that led to their investment in Hatch. In the full episode we covered a range of topics including: - How exposure to Campaign Monitors $250M funding round shaped her interest in tech and startups - Rampersand's AAA approach to investing and supporting startups - How to think about financial modelling as an early stage startup & much more The full episode is now available wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts.

As High Alpha Innovation CEO Elliott Parker recently shared on the Unlearn podcast with Barry O'Reilly, corporations looking to regain the innovative spirit of #startups and drive true growth and tangible #innovation must begin by changing how they think about traditional metrics and strategies.

In a world driven by goals, targets, and outcomes, it's easy to overlook the power of wonder. Yet, it's this very quality that often sparks innovation, creativity, and groundbreaking ideas. As professionals, we're constantly seeking solutions, but what if we took a moment to simply wonder? ✨ Wondering allows us to explore the unknown, challenge assumptions, and see beyond the obvious. It's a mindset that opens doors to new possibilities and keeps us curious about the world around us. 🚀 One notable advocate of wonder is Jeff Bezos, the visionary behind Amazon. Throughout his career, Bezos has emphasized the importance of maintaining a "Day 1" mindset, characterized by relentless curiosity and a willingness to embrace uncertainty. He once famously said, "What's dangerous is not to evolve." 🔍 So, how can we cultivate wonder in our own lives and careers? It starts with asking questions, challenging norms, and staying open to new ideas. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a leader, or an aspiring professional, remember that wonder isn't just a luxury—it's a key ingredient for success. Let's commit to nurturing our sense of wonder, for it's in those moments of curiosity that we uncover our greatest opportunities. Listen to his UNLEARN podcast with Elliott Parker and I... let your mind wonder #EmbraceWonder #Innovation #Curiosity #JeffBezos #Amazon #CareerGrowth #Leadership
