  • Required listening for founders

    As a founder in the pre-seed Angel investment stage, I’ve been scouring the Internet for helpful podcasts. What I love about only OnlyFounders is the human approach that Annie takes. A founder can get so lost in numbers and product development and GTM strategy and all of this other stuff… It’s nice to get grounded back into the reason why we’re doing this!
