09/18/24 • 50 min
On Episode 029 of The Feedback Loop! We hear from founders building: an AI-driven API platform, an AI copilot for product marketing managers, and a package delivery protection product.
As always, hosted by Sherveen Mashayekhi, Founder & CEO of Free Agency. Today's guest investor is Jesse Middleton, General Partner at Flybridge. More on Jesse below.
The Feedback Loop is all about getting ambitious founders on stage to pitch and get unfiltered feedback from experienced, honest investors.
Because the thing that can hold even the best founders back from reaching their ambition? Their pitch. Whether a startup founder is raising money, recruiting a team, or selling their product, it's the pitch at the start of any given conversation that starts them on a journey to success.
