#362 – James Bannon & Suraj Tirupati – Start Up Funding

Start-Up Funding Blueprint James & Suraj share insights for founders looking for start-up funding. They connect founders looking for an investment with an investor network. On top of that, they create materials that help founders create pitch decks to help them fundraise. A big new project is adapting AI to help content creators and consumers summarise and unlock insights from their audio and visual content. How it all Started James was used to working ridiculously long hours. It was late, actually early, when it dawned on him, rather than listen to podcasts, he'd like to produce content instead. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/James-Bannon-Start-Up-Blueprint.mp4 James had the idea that Suraj and himself would do a podcast based on interviewing founders and investors. Then share with people whilst learning themselves. Suraj identifies a huge Corporate Escape market If you are working 9 till 3 am in banking, then maybe, just maybe, you'll be thinking how do I escape this corporate jail! http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Suraj-Tirupati-Corprate-Escape-Market.mp4 They Mine Nuggets of Information That the Listener Can Action James wanted the start-up funding podcast to be about actionable insights. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/James-Bannon-Actionable-Insights.mp4 Valuable Insights into Pitch Decks Common mistakes include not having done market research can you prove there is a problem worth solving is there a chance of 100x your money? are you outlining the market properly? http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Suraj-Tirupati-Pitch-Deck-Insight.mp4   James & Suraj Provided these Testimonials!
