In this episode of Confessions of a B2B Entrepreneur, host Tom Hunt welcomes the show's first-ever VC, Manish Patel of Nava Ventures. Manish provides a masterclass on fundraising and the realities of company building. He reveals why VC is the most expensive way to finance your business. He explains how VC is like "nitrous oxide," a fuel that makes you go fast, but is not for every company. You'll learn why "all revenue is not equal" and why the "art of the Series A" is a critical moment for a company's foundation. He also shares how a founder's vision can become diluted as they raise more capital. Discover the key questions to ask yourself before taking on a partner you're stuck with for life.
