I’m Aaron Harris. I was a partner at Y Combinator for 7.5 years and now run Magid and Company. For the last decade, I’ve been obsessed with one question: How do founders fundraise?
On Asking VCs for Money, I’ll be talking to founders about…well…asking VCs for money. We’ll talk about what they actually did - the tactics and strategies that led to success - how they met investors, how they prepared their pitches, and how they negotiated term sheets. I’m going to focus on process and particulars here, not grand pronouncements or hacks. I hope you learn something that helps you the next time you fundraise.

Real Fundraising Advice!
From the first episode, it sounds like Aaron’s getting some really candid interviews of the guests talking about the real process of fundraising for a real startup, rather than a bunch of get rich quick hustle culture drop ship crypto scams. Curious to see who comes on the show in future episodes.
