The Startup Fundraising Podcast for Founders

The OpenVC Podcast goes deep with the people who shape early-stage investing — VCs, angel investors, and founders who’ve been on both sides of the table.

Each episode unpacks how investors really think: their theses, sourcing strategies, and the signals they look for when deciding who to back. No theory, no canned talking points — just honest conversations with our host, Harrison Faull, on what’s working in fundraising right now.

If you’re a founder preparing to raise, this show is built for you. You’ll hear firsthand how top investors approach pre-seed and seed rounds, what makes a pitch stand out, and how they navigate trends across tech, its sub-sectors, and beyond.

We release new episodes twice a month, featuring top-tier guests from firms like Playfair, Octopus Ventures, FJ Labs, and many more.

Along the way, our team provides bonus content that delves deeper into the tactical aspects of fundraising. From building pitch decks and managing your raise to networking and understanding investor psychology, the OpenVC podcast is a must-listen for any founder interested in the world of raising capital.
