How do you actually find the right investor?
Many founders believe it starts with the perfect pitch deck, the right numbers, and a polished presentation. But sometimes, the real connection happens somewhere else entirely.
In this short episode, Andres Jara, co-founder of Favamole, shares how a simple and honest conversation at a regenerative agriculture conference led to a €250K investment.
Instead of pitching metrics and projections, the conversation started with something much more human: the personal struggles behind building a startup.
That moment of authenticity created alignment. And alignment created trust.
The lesson is simple but powerful. Investors are not only looking for numbers. They are looking for people, values, and a clear reason why the work matters.
In just 10 minutes, we explore why the best partnerships often start with honesty rather than a pitch.
