I co-founded Hustle Fund, a pre-seed fund for software entrepreneurs. Previously, I was a partner at 500 Startups, where I invested in seed-stage companies and ran the Mountain View accelerator. In a prior life, I co-founded and ran an ad tech company called LaunchBit (acq .2014). Let's talk about startups, founder mindset, and more. AMA 👇

Hello, Elizabeth. I had the same issue, and still, it's not resolved. Finding the best partner as a technical team with you in your startup journey is a bit difficult somewhere. For helping startups and investors to reach the ideas, I planned to build a community to gather all things together. If you have any idea to build this web from scratch, do let me know. Web: official.community A community for building communities!

@anilsinghnegi Hmm, replying to your own, but it's not an bad idea. as we reply own when we are alone.

Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! What is the #1 thing that you now know as a founder who has existed + as an investor that you wish you knew back when you co-founded LaunchBit?
Elizabeth Yin
@gigi_ragtag I think we regard to funding, the idea matters most. Investors won't even talk with a founder if the idea "isn't great" (unless it's someone they already know). (This is from my perspective as a founder who didn't have a great idea. Hah) But who's to say an idea is good vs great vs bad is in the eye of the beholder, and that's why we need more funders.

Hey Elizabeth! Thanks for doing an AMA :D What are some personality attributes you look for in founders you're thinking of backing at the Seed stage? Is that a factor in decision-making?
Elizabeth Yin
@sanja_mitar Re: founder traits - hustle (as I define as execution with velocity), focused on just 1-2 things, experimentation mindset, customer-centric, able to learn new skills, and frugality.

Elizabeth. Your fund looks amazing and your story is really cool. Having been a founder and then a seed stage investor will make you a super start pre-seed investor. Plus you cant go wrong with "Hustle Fund" as a name. I would love to set up a call to discuss your fund. Eddie
