Fundraising and Venture Capital in 2023 with Julian Weisser
Joining us today in the Deep End is Julian Weisser. Julian is the co-founder of On Deck, and a prolific angel investor with over a hundred angel investments including Loyal, Level, Atmos, and more.
Every few months, we invite Julian to the podcast to get a sense of what's going on in the world of venture, and this conversation is not different.
We look at the growing importance of profitability and revenue generation for investors, as well as the importance of founders aligning their trajectory with investor expectations. We also look at alternative funding models, with Julian discussing Zapier and Bubble’s model of prioritizing revenue and profitability over heavy venture funding.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the evolving venture capital landscape or thinking about fundraising.
