  • Informative and engaging

    Solid listen for those interested in building their company and vision, pitching it, and getting funded. I’m particularly excited to see this season is dedicated to AI. Ideas shared were concrete and motivating, especially for those not already plugged into a funding network. Bonus: podcast host Walter has a great voice (I’m picky about this!)
