#40 How to Attract Venture Capital for Your Startup Today! | Kelly Reeser
Most venture capital firms operate from a position of superiority…founders need them more than they need founders. Kelly Reeser from Tech Farms Capital has built her entire investment philosophy around the opposite approach: coming alongside entrepreneurs as a support system first, investor second. In this conversation, we dive deep into how her background in economic development shaped her unique perspective on venture capital, why she looks for "perspicacity" in founders (that Wayne Gretzky-like ability to skate where the puck is going), and how her children became her first investors with $152.56.
