🎙️ Episode 11 is live! This time we sit down with Nuno Gonçalves Pedro, founder of Chameleon Venture Capital, to talk about what separates good founders from great ones — and what VCs should really be doing to support them.
If you’re raising at seed or Series A, this episode is packed with lessons on how to scale yourself as a founder while scaling your company.
What do we cover?
1. Know your gaps. Every founder has superpowers — but also blind spots. The best know what they bring and what they need to hire for.
2. Balance leadership and management. Inspiration alone isn’t enough; great
founders also empower and delegate.
3. Cheerleader vs. coach. Most VCs are the former. A rare few act as true coaches — challenging and supporting founders through growth.
Nuno also shares his perspective on the state of venture capital, how too much capital can make founders lazy, and why self-awareness may be the most underrated founder trait of all.
🎧 Tune in for an unfiltered look at what it takes to grow into an A+ founder.
