TBC 139: Hitting the Resonant Frequency With Investors
Description
I’ve been thinking about a fundraising idea that keeps showing up once you’ve pitched enough rooms. I call it the resonant frequency of investors. It’s that moment in a pitch when someone stops evaluating you and starts dreaming alongside you.
In this episode, I break down what that state actually looks like, how it feels when an investor is nowhere near it, and why the difference matters more than most founders realize. We talk about the myth of only pitching people who “already get it” and why that mindset leaves money on the table.
I share how narrative, framing, and a few small changes can move someone from skeptical to fully bought in. There’s a real example from a founder I’ve worked with where a single shift in context changed everything for me personally. One and a half slides in and it all clicked.
If you’re raising and wondering why some investors poke holes and others fill them in for you, this episode is for you.
