DAE think the vibe at Capital Factory's demo day changed how you look at funding?
I was at the Capital Factory demo day last month, and something clicked for me. I saw two founders pitch the same kind of app, but one just talked about their tech and the other told a story about a real problem they saw at a food truck on South Congress. The second one got way more questions and, I heard later, a meeting with a local VC. It made me rethink my whole pitch deck. I used to lead with our algorithm's speed, but now I start with the story of the first client who called us crying with relief. Is that the move now in Austin, or was I just reading too much into one event? What's your take on storytelling vs. hard specs when trying to get local investors to bite?
