Forward Thinking Media - Seeding Trust
The Seedscout Daily is now called “Mat’s Newsletter”. If an insider wants to raise, there are many levers they can pull. They can email their network about their raise.

Insiders don’t need a deck, because trust fills its place. Outsiders are in the opposite position. No one has context on them. No one can backchannel them. No one can trust them. This is why a great deck matters. It seeds trust where no other signs of trust can be found. Read #284 Here. |
