Should overlooked founders try to raise venture capital? Jul 28, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, James introduces his new co-host, Lavelle Smith Hall, and the duo asks the question: if all overlooked founders combined are only going to raise less than 10% of VC funding, should they even try?

To tackle this conundrum, we got the help of a few of our friends:

Kimberly Evans: Founder of Just Her Ridesare, a service for women rideshare passengers and drivers.

Abraham Williamson: Attorney at Go With Canvas, and James and Lavelle's startup attorney.

Antoine Woods: Venture Capitalist at Bronze VC.

And here's the video we promised to share that shows how James used ChatGPT and Gritt.io to find angel investors who are founders and send them relevant cold emails. James says, "You're welcome!"
