How to build investor trust before you pitch with Brad Scott from Maven
Why do some founders build investor trust fast while others struggle to get a second meeting?
I sit down with Brad Scott, Investment Manager at Maven Capital Partners, to unpack what catches his attention before a pitch and why rushing into slides can cost you the deal.
Brad explains why building genuine relationships early can create more opportunities than a one-off pitch. He talks about how consistent investor updates help founders stay top of mind, and how having firsthand industry experience can be a decisive advantage.
If you’re gearing up for your next raise or trying to understand how VCs weigh founder, product, and traction at the early stage, this one’s for you.
