Nico is a Senior Analyst at the Venture Capital firm FoodLabs, an Early Stage VC investor and venture studio for food, sustainability and health.
We kick it off lightly with how Nico got to work at FoodLabs, what the company does and what his typical day looks like. In the second half of the podcast Nico answers all the questions I had about VCs and how they think: What do VCs look for in their founder-teams? Which documents should founders have ready before getting in touch? How do VCs finance themselves and what is the difference between Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A etc.? We close with a discussion about Alternative Financing and Bootstrapping.
Do you have questions about FoodLabs, VCs or early stage financing? Nico is happy to answer any questions you might have on LinkedIn. Just make sure to include a message: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolaus-norden/
NOTE: Unfortunately, after minute 38 the podcasting platform stopped recording my audio and video. This resulted in the loss of a segment of mine, talking about the venture builder I participated in (tbc in a different episode). I had to cut a bit of the middle segment, and the audio later on is from a backup and not as crisp. I hope you still enjoy it!
