Making Billions: The Private Equity Podcast for Fund Managers, Alternative Asset Managers, and Venture Capital Investors Pre-Seed Secrets: What Investors Really Look for (It’s Not Your Pitch Deck!)
"RAISE CAPITAL LIKE A LEGEND: https://go.fundraisecapital.co/apply"
Stop picking founders the old school way—it’s the fastest path to investment failure in 2026.
In this episode of Making Billions, Ryan Miller sits down with Joe Alalou, General Partner at Daring Ventures, to reveal the new blueprint for Pre-Seed and Venture Capital success.
Joe shares the "Daring Ventures" filter for identifying generational founders, in an era where AI has turned technical skills into a commodity, the "alpha" has shifted to human traits that machines can't replicate: grit, tenacity, and an undeniable right to win.
This isn't just a manifesto on investing; it's a tactical guide to navigating the 2026 investment climate, mastering deal flow, and scaling a fund when information is incomplete.
