Vise is now an AI-powered investment platform that helps financial advisors build personalized portfolios for their clients, with over $50 billion in assets on the platform.Samir walks through the very first win that changed everything: raising his seed round from Founders Fund after three years of grinding, cold emailing investors, sleeping on his co-founder's dorm room mattress topper at UPenn, and refusing to leave until he could convince him to drop out.Listen to Very First Win:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cTzEJW3juIZEBnyswNl9c?si=674c885122c64a70Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/very-first-win/id1896315027YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GoannaCapitalFollow:Robert Hilmer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roberthilmer/#VeryFirstWin #ViseAI #StartupFounder #VentureCapital #ai
