Last week, I met a founder in Lisbon that hacked the VC process,

Instead of him filling a form with his company details (company, url, arr, amount raising) to apply for funding,

He got me (and other investors) to fill in a form to apply to be his investors๐Ÿคฏ

My 3 takeaways ๐Ÿ‘‡

  1. Best entrepreneurs are able to change the rules of the game to their advantages

  2. Fundraising is about generating demand, outbound doesnโ€™t work (unless it is just to generate demand)

  3. Investors love exclusivity

This is how he did it ๐Ÿ‘‡
