Venture Lab with Luis

1 week ago
The greatest opportunities are often hidden behind closed doors. This podcast opens them up. After seven years in a different industry, last year I developed a strange obsession with startups and venture capital. I consumed every podcast, video, and book I could find. And while entrepreneurship does not need another podcast, it desperately needs transparency, accessibility, and conversations that go beyond funding rounds and exits. Venture Lab tells the personal stories of Europe's most exceptional investors and most innovative founders.

How We Got Sequoia to Invest in Pre-Seed Before We Had a Product I Mohamed Chahin, Founder of Twain

Mo Chahin, founder of Twain, reveals how he went from dropping out of university to raising millions from Sequoia before building a product and how he closed a full seed round in just 24 hours. We cover his journey from refugee roots to co-founding EatClever, fighting imposter syndrome, walking away from a million dollar startup, and finally building his life’s work with Twain. If you’re a founder, operator, or VC, you NEED to watch this.In this episode, Mo shares: • Why Sequoia backed Twain pre-product and how to position yourself for world-class investors. • The crazy story of closing a seed round in 24 hours (and why leverage only matters if you use it well). • How to turn imposter syndrome into a founder superpower through resilience and relentless learning. • The brutal lessons of hiring mistakes, restructuring a team, and why emotional investor support can save founders. • Twain’s radical culture: no managers, no promotions, no feedback and how it makes 7 people feel like 70.
