Interview the VCs — Chris Kantrowitz 6/6

Chris Kantrowitz and I talk about fundraising from both sides of the table: why founders should interview VCs, why authenticity beats a rehearsed pitch, and why the right investor is someone you want beside you when the dark times arrive. Then we get into impact funds, family-office money, AngelList carry fights, and the instant-decision investing style Chris admires in Paige Craig. We end with Chris moving Bicycle Day Ventures beyond psychedelics and into fungal technologies, starting with dissolvable ear tubes that could open a path to new cartilage.
