🚀🌸🍃🌟My biggest takeaway from Hunter Thompson 500k in 5 days challenge is that fostering healthy, genuine relationships with our potential investors and investors is an enormous part of making deals. Connecting on a genuine level is crucial to dealmaking. Our investors are also humans with stories driving their “why.” It’s important to connect to that story, to them, and show up with heart—not just piling on deals but with genuine interest. This connection builds confidence, knowing that our deal will make a positive impact. The end result is so much sweeter when our investors feel seen, and when there’s a powerful purpose to what we’re doing, it’s more than a transaction.🌸🚀🍃 #500kin5dayschallenge

Venture capital is often seen as just a financial tool—a means to scale businesses by injecting capital into high-risk ventures. But if you’re aiming to build a massively successful company, you know it takes more than just money. It takes a support system, a team that’s in your corner, ready to call BS when needed, help you build the right team, and keep you inspired when times get tough. But with over 48,000 #VCs worldwide, it’s tough to know which ones will truly have your back. That’s why we launched the Founder-First Investor Award—to spotlight those investors who are more than just capital on your cap table. These are the ones who are truly invested in your success, who understand that you can’t do it alone, and who are there to see you and your business thrive long after the check clears. In #NYC, founders named and celebrated Nick Adams as the most supportive investor, with Richard Odior, Lisa Burton O'Toole, PhD, and Lauren Reeves as finalists. Now, we’re taking this award to #Chicago, where we’re on the hunt for the most founder-first investors in the Windy City. #Founders, if you know an investor who has gone above and beyond, this is your chance to help them get the recognition they deserve! #ChicagoTech #VC #Entrepreneurship
