<p>In this episode we go over how venture capital works, what motivates investors, and what kind of companies they go nuts over. Why do some startups appear to raise money with zero effort while others try unsuccessfully for months?  Has raising money become easier over time?  What can we do as founders to maximize our chances of success? </p>

Intuition & making hard decisions

I'm David Oates, twenty-something dropout and founder/CEO at Curtsy, the sustainable way to shop and sell clothes online. This is Something Like That, my new podcast where I share hot-off-the-press learnings from growing up and building Curtsy. The phrase "something like that" celebrates lack of precision in speech, aka, not sweating the details. On the show, stories are usually paraphrased, names of things often forgotten, and opinions certain to change.
