About this listen
Fundraising in 2025 feels different than it used to. It is harder, slower, and less forgiving than in years past. In this episode, I sit down with Steve Young—an experienced operator, investor, and partner at Manna Tree—to have an honest conversation about what is really happening in the investment landscape right now.
We cover:
- Why the bar for raising money has become significantly higher
- What actually makes investors say yes in today’s market
- How self-awareness has become one of the most valuable traits a founder can possess
- When it might be time to double down—or step aside
- Why a polished pitch deck no longer guarantees interest
If you are in the trenches trying to raise capital, scale your brand, or simply lead with more intention, this episode will meet you where you are.
