in this 3rd episode of after the beep, me and Nico - our designated expert - tackle 3 questions from your submissions to the hotline. here’s what we take a look at:

  1. operator turned vc: practical tips n’ tricks for moving into the space. hint: make yourself visible 💸

  2. 🌵 how to handle a founder: a CFO shares that their relationship with the founder can be tricky and challenging at times. what’s the best way to go about dealing with a sometimes spikey relationship in a fast-growing company?

  3. copy-cat syndrome: 🪞one of our callers feels that companies in the same industry are pushing the boundaries of ‘flattery’ and seem to be aligning themselves a little too closely with their work. do you call out the copy-cats? let is slide? or get legal?

Thank you for listening!
