VCs, WTFs and LOLs

VC WTF's and LOL's is a no-filter podcast about startups, venture capital, and the wild ride in between. In each episode, we sit down with investors, founders, and key players in the startup ecosystem to unpack the wins, the fails, and the straight-up WTF moments. We ask the real questions: What makes a founder investable? What really happens behind closed doors at VC firms? And what was the most ridiculous pitch they've ever heard? If you're a founder, investor, or just startup-curious, you'll laugh, cringe, and learn something new every episode.
