What does it actually take to get a pre-seed check written in 2024? Lucas and Luna sit down with founders who raised their first institutional money before having a product, a co-founder, or even a clear market. Each episode reconstructs the exact pitch, the numbers on the cap table, and the moments that made an angel say yes. Lucas presses for the unit economics that were actually in the deck; Luna asks how the founder dealt with the 40 rejections. This show is for the solo founder who has a slide deck but no warm intro — and wants to see how others crossed that gap. No success-porn, no generic advice: just the concrete mechanics of the first check, deal by deal. #PreSeed #IdeaStage #FirstCheck #AngelInvesting #SeedFunding #StartupCapital #FounderStories #PitchDeck #CapTable #VentureCapital #EarlyStage #StartupAdvice #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #FundingStrategy #SoloFounder Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • How Idea-Stage Founders Use a Customer Problem Stack

    How Idea-Stage Founders Use a Customer Problem Stack
    2026/07/21
    Lucas and Luna dive into a practical tool for idea-stage founders: the Customer Problem Stack. Instead of brainstorming solutions first, founders list every pain point their target customer faces, then rank them by frequency and intensity. Lucas walks through a real example from a fintech founder targeting gig workers, showing how the stack revealed a hidden third-tier problem that became their core differentiator. They discuss how this framework prevents premature solutioning, helps prioritize which problem to solve first, and even becomes the foundation of the pitch narrative. Luna pushes back on whether this is just repackaged problem validation, and Lucas explains why the 'stack' forces prioritization in a way that typical customer interviews don't. The episode ends with a practical challenge: listeners should build their own 10-item stack this week and share the top three problems on social media. #CustomerProblemStack #IdeaStage #PreSeed #FounderTools #ProblemValidation #CustomerDiscovery #GigEconomy #Fintech #Prioritization #MVPPlanning #PitchNarrative #LeanStartup #CustomerPainPoints #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #StartupAdvice Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Idea-Stage Founders Use a Warm Intro to Angel Investors

    How Idea-Stage Founders Use a Warm Intro to Angel Investors
    2026/07/21
    In this episode of The Pre-Seed Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore why a warm introduction from a trusted mutual connection is the most effective way for idea-stage founders to get a first meeting with angel investors. They break down a real case: a 2025 cohort of founders who used a simple spreadsheet to map their network's 'second-degree' connections to 50 active angels, and how an 18% conversion rate on warm intros compared to a 2% rate on cold emails. The hosts discuss practical steps — how to find the right connector, craft a specific ask, and follow up without burning bridges. They also touch on how a growing number of angel groups now require a warm referral before they'll even open a pitch deck. If you're building before your first check and wondering how to get in the room, this episode gives you a repeatable system. #WarmIntro #AngelInvestors #IdeaStage #PreSeed #FounderTips #Fundraising #StartupAdvice #NetworkMapping #ColdEmail #PitchDeck #InvestmentStrategy #EarlyStage #StartupFunding #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ThePreSeedPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Idea-Stage Founders Use a Customer Journey Map

    How Idea-Stage Founders Use a Customer Journey Map
    2026/07/20
    In this episode of The Pre-Seed Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into the customer journey map as a tool for idea-stage founders who haven't written a line of code yet. Lucas walks through how mapping a customer's emotional and practical steps — from trigger to purchase — can reveal hidden assumptions and shape a better MVP. They discuss a real example from a fintech founder who mapped the journey for first-time homebuyers and discovered that the real pain point wasn't mortgage rates but the anxiety of pre-approval paperwork. Luna challenges whether journey maps are too linear for modern buying behavior, and Lucas explains how to layer in non-linear paths like social referrals and abandonment loops. The takeaway: a journey map costs nothing, takes an afternoon, and can save months of building the wrong thing. #CustomerJourneyMap #IdeaStage #PreSeed #MVP #CustomerDiscovery #LeanStartup #FounderTools #UXDesign #Fintech #Homebuying #UserExperience #Assumptions #BusinessModel #Validation #StartupTips #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ThePreSeedPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
