In today's show, I’m receiving Analisa Winther the Founder of the podcast Future Food. She spent her entire career putting together startup and investor relationships as an ecosystem developer. Today, she coaches Founders helping them to define their vision and values to create a culture built to scale as well as hone their pitch to attract the right investors

This episode is an open conversation between two podcasters who have been on both sides: startup founder and investor.

We will share:


-The importance of company culture and values

-The Key tips for startup founders to impress investors and secure funding for their climate tech ventures

-The crucial importance of understanding the PSYCHOLOGY of investors (and trust me it's not just an ART, there are some elements of Science in there)
