65: Abhi Maran - The Venture Capital Fundraising Blueprint

Dec 10, 2023

What you’ll learn from this interview:

• How to think about approaching a fundraise to increase the velocity and probability of success
• How to craft your story and structure your raise
• Common pitfalls at the pre-seed/seed stage that founders need to avoid

Today I’m interviewing Abhi Maran, he’s an investor at Rampersand, an early stage Australian venture capital fund.

He also writes regularly as part of his Superfluid substack which is a phenomenal resource for founders looking to navigate the often opaque world of venture capital.

I’ve enjoyed reading Abhi’s work and wanted to bring him on the show to unpack some of the frameworks and principles he’s distilled from his journey as an investor.

There was only so much depth we could go into on a 45 minute podcast so make sure you subscribe to Superfluid and connect with Abhi on LinkedIn.
