• #40 How to Attract Venture Capital for Your Startup Today! | Kelly Reeser

  Most venture capital firms operate from a position of superiority…founders need them more than they need founders. Kelly Reeser from Tech Farms Capital has built her entire investment philosophy around the opposite approach: coming alongside entrepreneurs as a support system first, investor second. In this conversation, we dive deep into how her background in economic development shaped her unique perspective on venture capital, why she looks for "perspicacity" in founders (that Wayne Gretzky-like ability to skate where the puck is going), and how her children became her first investors with $152.56.   Connect with Kelly Reeser: Website: https://bit.ly/4nv0E6C  Facebook: https://bit.ly/46kTkDH  X.com: https://bit.ly/4mehXrT  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3VUGDus  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro of Show 01:57 Kelly Reeser’s Entrepreneurial Journey 09:19 Engaging Her Children in their Business 15:26 Authentically Living Out Faith  20:16 Starting Out their First Fund 21:33 Metrics of Venture Capital Investing 25:36 Building a Scalable Firm 29:46 Venture Capitals as a Relationship-Driven Business 32:41 Green Flags to Look Out For in Capital Investmenting 34:53 What Does a Dream Team Comprise of? 41:41 Importance of Successful Exits 45:36 Assessing Founders’ Characteristics  53:08 Red Flags to Look Out For in Making Deals 56:38 Ego vs. Humility in Business 1:02:59 Connect with Kelly Reeser Watch the “David Guttman Podcast” every Tuesday at 8AM EST on YouTube https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v
