Raise & Exit Podcast: Episode 5 Vik Ghai

🎙️ Episode 5 is live! This time we sit down with Vik Ghai — founder, repeat operator, and now early-stage AI investor at G2C Venture Partners.If you’re building in a highly technical space or navigating early fundraising, this one’s for you.What do we cover?1. Most founders fail by treating symptoms, not root causes. If customers keep saying no, don't just move on — dig deeper. Real pattern recognition is what separates Series A winners from the rest.2. The founder story matters more than your credentials. Investors back clarity, conviction, and purpose. If you can’t clearly explain why you are the one to solve this problem, they’ll move on.3. Pivots are not a sign of failure. They’re part of the process. The best founders adjust quickly and treat feedback as fuel. Success is about how fast you learn, not how closely you stick to your first plan.We also talk about:- How AWS and Databricks marketplaces are becoming the new app stores- What it really means when a VC says they’re “founder friendly”- Why enterprise AI won’t scale until people trust it—and what founders can do to build that trust🎧 Give it a listen and let us know what stood out.
