Cremorne Connect: Return of the VC Rosetta Stone: Decoding VC-Speak

​Founders often hear phrases like “you’re too early” or “the total addressable market isn’t big enough” and are left wondering what investors really mean.

​The VC Rosetta Stone is here to crack the code on venture capital. In this interactive session, common VC phrases are decoded by an investor, revealing what they actually mean, what’s really going on behind the feedback, and what founders should take away.

​Cremorne Connect takes participants inside the world of venture capital. Joined by Hugh Stephens, General Partner and Co-founder of Galileo Ventures, the session brings practical insights, candid perspectives and a founder-first approach to understanding how investors think.

​A founder, operator and investor, Hugh built bootstrapped SaaS company Sked Social and now backs early-stage founders through Galileo Ventures. A Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient, Hugh is known for his ability to “speak founder” and connect with entrepreneurs on the realities of building and raising capital.

​Expect equal parts insight and lively discussion in a live, interactive experience that decodes founder fundraising and brings VC-speak to life. Whether you’re a founder, student or part of the broader innovation community, you’ll leave more fluent in the language of venture capital.
