He is also the host of ‘The Most Awesome Founder’ podcast and recently launched the Rainmaking Venture Studio in Germany that partners with corporates to invest and build high-growth companies. In this episode, Gerrit and Oliver take a deep dive into the all-important equity story (aka pitch) that all founders need to master in order to raise money, in particular: - Why founders only have two tasks: to build s**t and tell stories. - How to craft an equity story that generates generosity in investors - How founders can use the neuroscience behind stories to their advantage - What boxing and pitching have in common - Why FOMO and 'Fake it 'til you make it‘ are really bad ideas while humour can work a treat For more of Gerrit’s insights into the neuroscience of business and building companies, check out Episode 103 - The art of peak performance.
