VCs Reveal The ONE Secret To Getting Funded Now | Anmol Goel | 40 under 40 winner

“VC isn’t luck. It’s proof.”

If you’re a founder or curious investor, this episode makes VC legible—math first, hype last.

At 24, London-based investor Anmol Goel walks us through the real game behind venture capital—why you place 100 bets and only 2–3 need to become monsters, and why most “good” 2–3× ideas get ignored to chase the outliers. We start where pop culture ends beyond Shark Tank, into the math, the discipline, and the messy early-stage judgment calls that separate noise from signal.

Anmol breaks down the power-law (YC’s few mega-winners return a huge share of the fund), the “not spray & pray” myth, and what “educated bets” look like when there’s barely any data—only founders, velocity, and the glimmer of a moat.
