Founders are told to project confidence in every investor meeting. Tushar Garg raised $210M+ by sharing what wasn't working instead. Ep 10 of Raiser's Edge 👇
3/ The “secret” behind Tushar Garg’s fundraising? Relationships, not transactions. He’d quietly built trust with investors for years—so when things got wild, his network was ready to step up.
You're talking the whole time.
Your investor? Silent.
Stefan Kalb explains what you're probably missing—and why that moment matters more than you think.

Your pitch is brilliant in the room.
Then you leave.
Stefan Kalb explains what happens next—and why it matters more than the 30 minutes you just spent.

@CoinbaseInsto Hey Coinbase Institutional, what's up with the delays in processing new accounts? You said "a week or longer", and then "a few weeks". But it's been 7 weeks now since I submitted, and no CS replies. What's the scoop?
@bermanjeff I am sooooo with you. I spent 2 hours on the phone with anthem and Mayo Clinic today while they both gave me more work to do on both their behalfs.
The stuff I've heard in the last 72 hours—from members of Congress, law enforcement friends, gun shop owners, MAGA devotees—is absolutely chilling.
We need to brace for a wave of violence in this country. Not just over the next couple of weeks, but over the next couple of years.
