Key Takeaways

  • As important as it is to have an incredible product and brand, don’t skimp on building a team that can go the distance — “For us, it’s all about investing in really great people.”
  • Make your story as compelling as possible: that’s what will stay with potential investors long after your pitch is over.
  • Show that your brand has staying power by laying the infrastructure for long-term growth, rather than adapting a “growth at any expense” mentality.
