I'm a 3x founder, YC alum, and early-stage investor. I was lucky to back Zapier, Clever, Omaze, and a few others at the seed stage.
This summer I'm spending time helping early-stage founders and learning from them. If you're raising or planning to raise, I'm happy to review your deck and offer honest feedback to help you sharpen the story from an investor's perspective.
In return, I'd love to ask you a few quick questions about your fundraising experience. What's working, what's frustrating, and how you're thinking about it. It helps me better understand how founders are raising today and where the process breaks down.
If you're up for it, feel free to reply here or message me privately. You can email me directly if you like mike.stachowiak@gmail.com No catch. Just hoping it's helpful for both of us.
I work at an angel syndicate and see how clunky the fundraising process really is, founders spending hours on intake forms, re-typing bios, hunting down metrics, only to get ghosted.
I d love to hear your experience:
What s your current submission process?
What s the single most frustrating part?
If you ve got 5 mins, here s a super-short survey too:
Do you think BARD will take over ChatGPT because it's part of the Google ecosystem and will be integrated and adopted quicker by the mass? Or does ChatGPT already have a considerable headstart?
