Hyped to announce I’ll be a judge for the first-ever shark tank in the sky on Redacted Airways, powered by @redactedcoin Thanks to @shanicucic96 @Sakattacking @Kemuri_eth and @PGgroup_ team for including me on this. It’s a perfect way to polish your pitch as a founder and get feedback but also hone your ability to respond to questions on the “fly” ✈️ Some of the best feedback and experiences in raising money and talking to investors for my ventures has been those pitch sessions. Most importantly it’s the questions you don’t have the answer to and makes you think. Many times that reframes your context by learning how others perceive your team / market / idea. For example when we were raising money for @acompli (18mo later acquired by @Microsoft) one investor who passed made it clear our approach of mobile first wouldn’t lead to enterprise deals. This pushed us as founders to try to validate that early. We did and signed a 7 figure deal in the first year with the federal government to power mobile email for two 3-letter agencies. Felt good to land that deal but more importantly was a key differentiator in separating us from the more than 50 other “mobile email” apps. Today Acompli lives on as @Outlook mobile. Long story short early founder feedback even if critical can become a strong motivator and unlock for future success. TLDR - going to be fun to do shark tank in the air. If you aren’t flying there are some fun quests for those “tracking the flight”.
