@jessinvestsvc: Founders always ask me, “What do VCs want to hear when I pitch?” And honestly… this is where people get tripped up. A lot of the most common fundraising phrases don’t actually help your case. In fact, they usually do the opposite. (Most) VCs don’t want to fund vibes. They want to see evidence, clarity, and credible paths to return their money. They’re trying to understand risk! And they’re paid to poke holes. So if you’re raising: • be specific, not grand • be honest, not aspirational • be grounded in what’s true today • use DATA to tell your story Strong founders make it easy for investors to believe their story. And they let their business do the talking. Save this before your next pitch. And follow for more real talk from the other side of the cap table. 💁🏼‍♀️✨ #founders #startup #vc #venturecapital
