In this week's Hate Your Deck episode, I spoke with Sarah Applebaum [https://ca.linkedin.com/in/sarahapplebaum], a former head hunter turned badass VC. Based in Vancouver, she regularly partners with Hate Your Deck to provide deck reviews with incredible speed and efficacy.
Currently a Partner at Pangea Ventures, which focuses on investing in companies with world-class advanced materials innovation with a focus on Energy, Electronics, Health, and Sustainability. She previously worked at RenewableTech Ventures, an early-stage VC investing in climate teach and cleantech companies in Canada and the US.
Sarah has also fundraised multiple times going to her own investors, so she has experience on both sides of the table. She speaks about how incredibly humbling it is to have to dial for dollars to raise money for a fund and how it helps build empathy in her role as a VC.
Tune in to hear:
* Considerations when raising money for a fund
* How VC's determine valuation pricing
* How VC's assess deep tech pitches without subject matter expertise
* How to make your pitch stand out & what not to do
