E173 | Who Are the Founders That Win Investor Trust Fast?

Why do some founders raise with ease—while others, equally talented, get ghosted?

In this episode, we reverse the roles: three HealthTech investors answer real questions from early-stage founders on what makes them say “yes.”

If you’ve ever poured your heart into a pitch only to hear crickets, this conversation will make you feel seen—and help you shift from being overlooked to oversubscribed.

Tune in to hear what Naomi Goez, Jasper, and Veda say are the green flags they look for, the red flags they avoid, and what turns a promising founder into a confident “yes.”

The way you show up, communicate, and align your mission with momentum might be the single most fundable thing you do this quarter.

🎯What specific traits make investors instantly lean in

🎯What red flags will quietly kill a deal (even if your product is great)
