| | Adil Ajmal "You have to figure out each candidate's motivation from the beginning. If you don't know that, then it's hit or miss when you're trying to close. The more you know about what truly excites each person, the better you can tailor the entire process." | | Tom Wilson "Law is an odd industry where many law firms (not all) still bill clients by the hour. Therefore tech solutions that make them more efficient may not be positively received and hard for legal tech startups to sell in." | | Akriti Dokania "Core AI startups are mostly focused on building the technology infrastructure for the AI industry as a whole. They are somewhat similar to cloud services, you solve real world problems by building on top of this infrastructure." | | Laura Behrens Wu "My fundraising story is a lot about rejection. We applied to Y Combinator and we got rejected. We applied to 500 Startups and we got rejected as well. We applied another time and we got lucky and got into 500 Startups Batch 8. The reason why we wanted to be part of an accelerator, is to get access to their network of investors we could raise a series seed. For this series seed, I pitched 125 angels and investors and I heard 115 no's. In the end, we raised $2 million from 10 investors. That's a whole lot of no's to go through before we got the $2 million together." | |
