Fundable or Forgettable?
Every founder thinks they're a "no" away from greatness. Most investors think they're a slide away from closing the tab.
That's D-Day 2 of D-Days, co-hosted with Unlymited Partners. The conversation that usually only happens after the founder leaves the room.
Two people who decide who gets funded, and one who lived through being decided on:
→ Leroy Margolis (Investment Principal, Creative Capital). Sits on the other side of the table, from pre-seed cheques to billion-dollar M&A. Knows exactly which "investment-ready" deck is actually ready and which is cosplay.
→ Mostafa Masry (CEO, Fincart). Built a 10,000-vehicle fleet in 12 months with four people, then went and raised for the thing everyone said was too operational to fund. Has the scar tissue, not the theory.
→ Sherif Nessim (Founding GP, Jedar Capital). Has written cheques into 30+ startups across Africa and the Middle East. Has heard every pitch twice and can tell you which line makes him twitch.
On the table:
What actually gets the cheque written, and the reason they soften into "too early" when they pass
What happens after the raise, and the quiet ways capital ruins a good company
What makes a founder fundable long after the pitch is over
No "believe in your journey". No recycled panel wisdom. The real filter investors use, from the people who actually use it.
