Why do you join this conversation on the Builders stage?

This honest and strategic conversation will cover what is truly important when you raise your first institutional check – an interesting story starts from creating faith without traction. Charles Hudson and Wesley Chan they consistently zero-to-one founder, eyebrow-raising red flags and first-time entrepreneurs will share the most common mistakes that look for the most common mistakes while funding.

The product is betting on people before

Pre-seed and seed funding often occurs before having any product, user base or traction. That means investors are betting on the founder, not a business. And very few people know how to make this call better than Hudson and Chan. Among them, they supported hundreds of establishments in the first phase before polishing the pitch decks, before showing the metrics and often before sending a single line of code.

Charles HudsonThe managing partner of the previous vencher has invested in more than 400 companies and supports more than 450 founders. He made his reputation to support people with bold ideas and unique views, recently said: “The more important you invest, the more important it is to believe in the founder’s narrative and ability to adapt. It’s not just about solving a problem – I believe I believe that you are the only one who believes in doing so.”

Wesley ChanFPV Ventures co-founder and managing partner, known for keeping brave primary bats in category-defined companies.
