Founder Unfriendly Live AMA with Edward Woodford of Zero Hash
For every 100 founders in the room, only a handful will raise venture capital — and most never get a straight explanation of why.
As part of the launch of Charlie O’Donnell's book, Founder Unfriendly: What Investors Won’t Tell You About Getting Funded, we’re hosting a series of live, 30-minute AMAs with experienced founders and operators who’ve been through the process — successfully and unsuccessfully.
These sessions are designed to give founders what they rarely get:
An honest look at how investors evaluate opportunities
Clear insight into where the bar actually is (and why)
Practical advice on when to push forward — and when to pause, rethink, or walk away
This session we're featuring Edward Woodford of Zero Hash.
Ed Woodford is the Co-founder and CEO of Zero Hash, a premier crypto infrastructure provider powering digital asset products for platforms across financial services. Woodford earned an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management. Previously, he co-founded DX.Exchange and has led Zero Hash to support a broad ecosystem of exchanges, neo-banks, and payment networks with API-first solutions for custody, settlement, and compliance.
