このコンテンツについて
In this episode, I sit down with Kenneth Thomas, Principal at BackFuture Ventures, to dig into what makes early-stage SaaS startups actually fundable, and why so many promising founders still fall short.
We talked about what VCs really look for at pre-seed and seed stage, how to spot a backable founding team, and why too many startups miss the mark by overcomplicating their story or failing to show progress in a tangible way.
Ken shares what he sees from both sides of the table, including why community and founder support are baked into BackFuture’s approach, what makes investor updates so valuable (even before you’ve raised), and the telltale signs a founder actually knows how to sell.
Plus, we got into some classic early-stage pitfalls, overspending on the wrong things, hiring sales too early, and the common pitch mistakes that turn off VCs fast.
If you’re an early-stage SaaS founder thinking about raising capital, this is the episode you need to watch before you reach out to another VC.
