About this listen

This week, we dive into the wild world of getting investors — a conversation sparked by Saoirse’s very real fundraising conversations this week, and Alba’s very real nerves pitching to actual investors for the first time.


We break down what funding even means: bootstrapping vs grants vs giving away equity (aka dilutive money — yep, we had to Google it too). We talk about the mental load of fundraising, the emotional rollercoaster of pitching, and whether either of us actually wants investors. Spoiler: we’re divided.


Also, we play a cheeky game of "Who Would You Invest In?" and unpack red flags we’ve seen (and maybe thrown) when it comes to asking for money.


This episode is for you if you’re building something and wondering: do I need investors? What kind? How do I even start? Or if you just want to laugh along as we figure it all out, one confusing term and overly honest pitch at a time.
