A couple of months into quarantine, our Mucker portfolio founders Susanne Mitschke and Patrick Renner of CitrusLabs invited me to speak on their Founder Smart podcast. To say this was a fun conversation would be an understatement!

The topic? What early-stage venture capitalists look for when evaluating investment opportunities.

You can listen to the full episode here → Founder Smart

TLDR;

  • Mucker invests in founders with unique insight into their market opportunity, writing our first checks at the pre-seed, Seed, and Series A stages
  • We are fans of Thomas Edison (even when I butcher quoting him)
  • Authenticity when reaching out and engaging investors will go a long way, as does being researched and having completeness of thought

Thanks again to Susanne and Patrick for hosting me!
