“Your job is not to fundraise. Your job is to build the business and create the product that creates value. Value for your stakeholders, your customers, and your investors." 👏

@JebTerry, President & CEO of @experiencecosm, shared that reminder with founders at #VA2026!

[Venture Atlanta @VentureAtlanta]

The former NFL player turned CEO shared what he's learned about raising:

➡️ Answer the "no" questions first.
➡️ Know who you're pitching.
➡️ Play the long game.
➡️ Lead with conviction: investors see passion & smell fear.

$1.77 trillion 💥 That’s what @SpaceX was valued at when it went public this summer in the largest IPO in history!

Two SpaceX board members, Ira Ehrenpreis & Randy Glein, sat down with us at #VA2026 to talk about deep tech investing & building category leaders.

[Venture Atlanta @VentureAtlanta]

The conversation was held under the Chatham House Rule, so what was said stays in the room, but here's what we covered: investment philosophy, scaling, managing through financial crises, and the leadership traits they look for in founders.
