Revenue Solves All Problems Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In a startup, revenue solves all problems. Funding can help, but only for so long. As long as you have cash, you can run the startup. When you run out of money, then it's over. Revenue can fix any problem. If you need more sales support, you can hire them. If you need to fix a product, you can bring in a developer to do the job. If you need more leads, you can hire a marketer. Funding can solve many problems, but it's limited. There's only so much funding a founder can raise. Funding only goes so far before it runs out. Funding jump-starts the business, but revenue carries it the distance. Develop your long-term plans around revenue generation. Use funding to fill the gaps. Whatever you do, make sure you don't run out of cash. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

How To Find a Cofounder Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. A founding team includes someone who is building it and someone who is selling it. It's important that the startup has two founders. Here are some steps to find a cofounder for your startup. Figure out which role the founder is taking and look for a cofounder to fill the other. The key to finding and recruiting the co-founder is to show how the business will be successful. This typically starts with a customer or market ready to pay for the product to be produced. Show the key insight you have into the market and how you can use it to create a successful business. Validate with customers who are ready to buy the product and place them on a waitlist. Sign up customers who are ready to pay and provide the service manually till you have an automated solution. Gain agreement on the goals of the company for the coming three years. Negotiate compensation based on what each founder is bringing to the table. Use the negotiation process to test out the other's skills. Go on joint sales calls to see how each performs. Work on the product development to see what progress can be made. Consider these steps in finding a cofounder. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

As my board game collection grows, the chances of the same game being played regularly decrease. As a reviewer, that's fine, because I'm here to play new games and critically evaluate them. However, it's also sad that more and more of my games just sit there on the shelves unplayed, while the latest, shiny game barely lands before it makes it to the table. For many of us, playing board games isn't just about the games themselves, but the experiences we create with them and the people we share them with. So in this article, I want to look at the benefits of playing a small handful of games regularly, instead of briefly sampling many games once or twice, considering the psychological, social, and financial aspects that shape our hobby.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/12/23/regular-games-benefits-of-playing-the-same-game-with-the-same-people-topic-discussion/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Music by: Bensound.com/royalty-free-musicLicense code: S4IAJRAYP14J2B70Artist: : Benjamin TissotMusic I use: BensoundLicense code: AEXKNYAUNTLNLJVIArtist: : Theatre Of DelaysMusic: https://www.bensound.comLicense code: DFL4ZIMB2EMEIW8UArtist: : Benjamin TissotSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

How To Calculate Warrant Coverage Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. A warrant is the right to buy a company's stock at a specific price or range over a certain time period. The warrant acts like an option, but it issues stock, which dilutes the cap table. Founders raising funding offer warrants to incentivize investors to fund the company. Warrant coverage is the number of warrants an investor receives based on the size of their investment. It's typically stated as a percentage such as 5% or 10%. Here's how to calculate warrant coverage: Take the number of shares at a specific price per share as the initial investment. Take the number of shares to be provided as warrants. Divide the number of warrants by the number of shares of the initial investment to reach a warrant coverage amount. Here's an example. The founder offers 50,000 additional shares to those who invest in 500,000 shares at $3 per share. The warrant coverage is 50,000 divided by 500,000 at $3 per share, generating a 10% warrant coverage. Consider these calculations in offering warrants in your fundraiser.

Lantern lifted, I stepped into the Crimson Cavern where a Tawny Steppe Wyvern crouched over a cache of meat and a single gleaming amethyst. It watched me calmly, dust motes swirling around its tawny wings. In the Golden Grotto, a Bellicose Firevern crackled with heat, sparks skittering across piles of scorched stone as it let out a low rumble. Finally, in the Amethyst Abyss, a Subterranean Basilisk hatchling blinked up at me, tiny and glittering, nestled among crystal shards. Once they got accustomed to me, the three dragons allowed me to go about my dracologist business and measure their Wyrmspan by Connie Vogelmann from Stonemaier Games with art by Clémentine Campardou.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/12/20/wyrmspan-saturday-review/Useful LinksWyrmspan: https://stonemaiergames.com/games/wyrmspan/Rulebook: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ulyfze69rb24tsgip7mn7/h/Wyrmspan/Wyr_Rulebook_r19.pdf?rlkey=ha4lz6kvkwmjaglah0lwtzjto&dl=0Rules Video: https://youtu.be/zbqpVm1lCk8?si=d_w34lwrWPj7NQEKStonemaier Games: https://stonemaiergames.com/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/410201/wyrmspanWingspan review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2019/03/16/wingspan/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Sound Effects:bbc.co.uk – © copyright 2025 BBCZapSplat (https://www.zapsplat.com/)Music by: Bensound.com/royalty-free-musicLicense code: PKXFZ8Q9Z7SMQQCYArtist: : TURNIQUEMusic by: BensoundLicense code: PMTMT9TCA62QQGBAArtist: : Lunar YearsSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/⁠

In this episode of Investor Connect, host Hall Martin welcomes Darcy Bachert, Founder and CEO of Prolucid Technologies. Darcy shares the journey of Prolucid Technologies, a software engineering firm that specializes in designing and developing mission-critical systems for highly regulated industries such as med tech, nuclear, and industrial applications. Darcy explains how the company pivoted from industrial automation to focusing on more stable industries during the Great Recession and highlights the importance of quality, cybersecurity, and compliance in their operations. He also discusses the challenge investors face in understanding the longer timelines and higher costs associated with bringing regulated software products to market and explains the pros and cons of investing in such technologies. Hall and Darcy delve into the increasing role of AI in med tech, particularly in enhancing diagnostic processes and speeding up clinical decision-making, with Darcy mentioning Prolucid' role in transforming prototypes into production-ready systems. They also touch on the importance of advanced data analytics and ongoing monitoring in reshaping product value and post-market support. The conversation further explores the strengths and weaknesses of startups versus large strategics in the innovation landscape of regulated software products, and how choosing the right engineering partner is essential for success. Darcy offers practical advice on identifying credible partners and warning signs to watch out for, emphasizing the need for engagement and quality management systems.

The Downside of VC Funding Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Venture capital can enable a startup to reach the next level through funding. There are downsides to VC funding. Here's a list: The founders' ownership goes down by 20-25% on each fundraising round. The VC model promotes growth over all other strategies. Taking VC money means taking the VC's business model, which is to give the Limited Partner a return in 3 to 7 years. VCs will want the founders to take a minimal salary so as to apply as much capital as possible to growing the business. The VC is concerned primarily with paying back the Limited Partners in their fund. This means the VC is less likely to support initiatives that are impact-related or others that are important to the founder. Some VCs provide funding but little else, such as coaching or a network. The VC will bring their view of how to grow the business, which may not align with the founder's vision. VCs take board seats, which come with a certain level of control. For some startups, angel money may be a better option. Consider these points before taking VC funding.

The Failure Rate for Startups Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The failure rate for startups is high at almost 90%. Here's a list of reasons why startups fail: The founders underestimate how long it will take to gain traction in the market. The startup runs out of cash. The product fails to find product-market fit. The competition wins the market. There are regulatory challenges that cannot be overcome. The team was not up to the challenge. The timing of the startup was off. The founders failed to focus on productive tasks. Some startups take on too much debt too soon. The startup is building a product for an undefined market. Half of all startups fail in the first five years. Twenty percent of startups fail in the first year. Less than 10% of founders build a successful startup. Startups are challenging for many reasons. The failure rate is high. Consider these risks in launching your startup. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Six Months To Build, Six Months To Sell Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Building a minimum viable product or MVP is a key step in a startup launch. After some market research, there's an ideation step on what to build. The rule of MVPs is that it should take no longer than six months to build and no longer than six months to sell. If you can't build it in six months, then you are scoping the solution too broadly. It's best to reduce the features and functionality so you can go to market sooner. It's the customer interactions that count, not the number of features in the MVP. If you can't sell what you built in six months, then you built the wrong thing. The key here is to sell it first, then build it. Show the concept to potential customers and take pre-orders for it with some money down. This will most likely be at a greatly discounted price. Instead of focusing on the revenue, look for what the customer finds most valuable about the product. Customers may say one thing, but paying money indicates what they really want. Consider these steps in building your MVP. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Founder Dilution Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Founders raising funding incur dilution. Their ownership stake goes down as they raise more funding. Founders start with 100% ownership. Each round of funding dilutes them by 25% or more. On average, founders own 60% after the pre-seed and seed rounds. After a Series A, they own 45%. After a Series B, they own 26%. After a Series C, they own 25% After a Series D, they own 11% There are often two to three founders in a startup, so they split this amount. Investors should consider the impact of dilution on the founder's ownership stake. If they own too little of the company, they may not find the incentive to carry it to an exit. Founders should consider funding strategies that are more capital-efficient. For example, after one round of funding, the company could grow based on revenue and profits alone. This may take longer, but it will reduce the dilution. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Everyone in a fight has their side of the story. That story is a crafted message that can keep someone in the fight, convince them to stop fighting, and convince bystanders you are the good guy worth helping or the bad guy worth piling onto. Police in America are struggling with an increasingly hostile public narrative that degrades morale, budgets, recruiting, and public cooperation when you need it most. In irregular warfare, the narrative may have more impact than the guided missiles.  The conversation focuses on practical storytelling skills leaders need to operate effectively in contested environments. Check out this episode to learn how tactical actions reverberate at the operational and strategic levels, why "neutrality" is often a false posture, and how to communicate facts through compelling, ethical narratives that build credibility rather than erode it. This episode is essential listening for professionals who operate in public-facing roles where perception directly impacts mission success.

In this episode of Investor Connect, host Hall T. Martin speaks with the CEO of World Tree, who highlights the company's mission to commercialize the fastest-growing hardwood species, the Paulownia tree, also known as the Empress Splendor tree. This species is non-invasive, nitrogen-fixing, and capable of regenerating from its stump, providing renewable lumber over 50 years. Key points include the increasing demand for lumber and the company's pioneering efforts in North America, where they cultivate and harvest these trees primarily in the southeastern U.S., Costa Rica, and Mexico. The CEO explains how World Tree addresses deforestation and carbon capture, while also tapping into high-value markets like furniture, cabinetry, and musical instruments, underscoring the significant revenue potential and market demand for sustainable hardwood products. They delve into the company's financials, detailing a robust $17 million retail market funding to establish 7,000 acres and over $300 million worth of lumber currently in growth. The episode also covers World Tree's expansion plans, including partnerships with institutional investors like Shell and Nestle, and ambitious goals to scale operations to 60,000 acres, which could significantly impact carbon offset and produce renewable, high-quality lumber. Potential investors are encouraged to explore opportunities with World Tree as they forecast substantial returns and explore nature-based project investments. Tune in to learn more about how World Tree is poised to shape the future of sustainable forestry. ________________________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https:/_/tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

How Investors Provide Mentorship at Scale Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Startups seek out investors not only for funding but also mentorship. Most pitch sessions are valuable not because they raised funding, but because they provided feedback to the founder. The challenge for investors providing feedback is that it most often comes in a one-on-one format. For investors to be effective across a large number of startups, mentorship must scale. Here are some ways to scale mentorship for startups: Record the sessions, including the pitch and the feedback, and post them online for other startups to watch. Capture the founder's questions along with written feedback and post online. Provide feedback in large group settings so other founders can benefit from it. Capture pitches and feedback in online webinars and then post the results online. Take the feedback from the above and compile it into an online training course. Provide the training to groups of startups in accelerators and incubators. Provide the training at startup events with large numbers of startups in attendance. Capture the questions and answers into an online blog post. Consider these steps in scaling your mentorship to the startup community.

A simple spreadsheet for his dad sparked a complete career pivot. In this episode, Andy Cole breaks down his move from civil engineering to fee-only financial planning—and how he built a lean, resilient practice while working full time and raising a family. What began as a deep dive into risk-adjusted returns evolved into a planning-first firm serving engineers with a flexible, transparent fee model.Andy shares the early challenges of running a solo RIA—compliance, invoicing, endless paperwork—and the turning point when he found a corporate RIA structure that gave him real leverage. By outsourcing back-office work while keeping full autonomy, he accelerated growth and regained the joy of advising. We also get into the numbers, including payout grids and the math that helped him reach roughly $200k in revenue with low personal overhead.We talk niche and pricing strategy, too. Engineers often want DIY portfolio control, so Andy pairs flat-fee planning with optional low AUM. He also offers practical marketing advice: increase your at-bats, stay consistent on LinkedIn, and build offers for a specific audience—not everyone.If career change, fee-only planning, or intentional business design resonates with you, hit follow, share with a colleague, and leave a quick review so others can find the show.Andy's Linkedin:https://www.linkedin.com/in/andy-cole-pe/Music in this episode was obtained from Bensound.

How To Analyze AI Startups Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Artificial intelligence-based startups continue to grow and increase. Investors funding AI companies should look for the following: Market size. New markets can be difficult to measure. For brand new categories, calculate the number of users in the market and how much they will spend on an AI solution. For existing categories, calculate the current number of users in the market and how much they will pay additionally for the AI component. Value add. How much value does AI add to the product? Does it increase the revenue substantially or only marginally? Does it give access to new users and applications or only increase functionality to existing users? Moat. How much of a competitive advantage does AI bring against the competition? If it's only a small modification to an existing LLM, then it can be easily copied. If it has been trained on a unique data set then it will have a greater advantage over competitors. Distribution. How well does the startup run a go-to-market strategy? A fast penetration of the market will be a great advantage over those who take time. Consider these factors in analyzing an AI startup.

The Importance of Unit Economics Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The unit economics of a startup determine its success. The stronger the unit economic case, the higher the margins, the faster the company grows. In analyzing a startup, measure the unit economics regarding customer acquisition cost and lifetime value. Calculate it at the unit level to understand the health of the business. Many venture-funded startups appear to be growing well, but this is often from infusions of capital from investors rather than growth from the customers. The unit economics show how the startup is doing regardless of the funding. It also works with early-stage startups where the top-line revenue is low. By looking at the systems behind the startup, such as sales, service, and support, one can see if the basic systems are working. The margin on each sale, the cost to acquire a customer, and the lifetime value give an accurate accounting of the business. If these numbers look good, then the startup may be a candidate for investment. Consider the use of unit economics in your startup diligence.

What Is a Fund of Funds Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Unlike most venture capital funds that invest in startups, a fund of funds invests in other funds that invest in startups. Instead of investing in multiple funds, an investor can gain diversification by investing in a fund of funds. As with all good VC funds, there's limited availability for investors to join. The standard return on a fund of funds investment is 10X. There's competition among the limited partners to get in. There are challenges with a fund of funds. To reach diversification, most funds will need substantial resources to fund it. The management fees can be expensive. Some funds have mediocre managers and the resulting returns to show it. As with all venture funds, the money is locked up for six to ten years. Also, the power law still applies. Only a small number of the investments in the fund will pay out to cover the overall expense. Consider a VC fund of funds for your portfolio.

This week's guest says that when it comes to risk, resilience and AI - getting ahead now reduces future compliance scrambles. The integration of AI into resilience is no longer optional—it's essential.   Hello everyone and welcome to episode 213 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!   This week we're joined by Senior Business Continuity & Crisis Management Advisor, Michelle Papas. Michelle spends time with us explaining how ISO's standards for AI implementation and BCM are aligned.

The Fallacy of Stealth Mode Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Startups often choose to stay in stealth mode in the early days to protect their idea. In most cases, stealth mode doesn't help the startup and can actually hurt it. Here's the downside of going into stealth mode: It's difficult for others to help the startup because they don't know what is going on. It's harder to hire for the startup because it's a secret. You can't tell customers about it because you may reveal too much. It's difficult to talk to investors because the startup wants everyone to sign an NDA. Startups that commit fraud are often in stealth mode to hide their activities. Instead of going into stealth mode, be open about what you are doing. Refrain from explaining to everyone how you are doing it. This gives exposure to the startup for investors and customers. Consider keeping certain functions as a trade secret. Investors will appreciate the fact that you have intellectual property in the form of a trade secret. They will be less impressed by your stealth mode.

Gaps in knowledge and performance happen naturally, even in high-performing teams. In this episode, Mike and Jim explore why blind spots develop despite good training, smart people, and strong intent. They walk through the realities of cognitive load—how much information a practitioner can realistically retain—and how this affects everything from tactical decision-making to compliance with policy and law. Using examples from aviation, policing, and military training, they illustrate how complexity, fatigue, and skill decay shape performance far more than most would acknowledge. The conversation also addresses how organizations should think about standards, instructor responsibilities, evaluation systems, and the realistic limits of human learning. They highlight tools leaders can use to expose and correct blind spots: independent evaluation, scenario-based application, and deliberate debriefing. Mike and Jim emphasize the importance of professional education, continual reinforcement, and maintaining a baseline that is both realistic and mission-appropriate. Take a moment and ask yourself: Are you tired of always having to work on the lowest common denominator? Do you know what your own weaknesses are and how they can impact you? This episode helps practitioners understand their own limitations, recognize when they need help, and apply structured thinking to improve safety, efficiency, and organizational credibility.
