First Investor | Ep. 2 Transcript
Aaron Bai states, "In my previous Short, I covered how we were able to get traction through 'solicitation'. So now, to cover how we raised our first VC dollars. Well one guy that I solicited was a random founder on Twitter which I cold DM'd. I said 'Hey, my name is Aaron. Love what you're building. We're building Almonds and we're looking to give people a safe way to save money in the form of cryptocurrency, get yields, access DeFi — without going through all the complexities with MetaMask, so on and so forth. What you be interested in sending $25, $50, $100 dollars. Whatever you're comfortable with for us to manage. If you're going to like the app. If you're going to trust the app, then you should trust us. Because we're the ones behind the app.' He said, 'Hm. Interesting proposal. Give me a call.' Got on the phone and he said, 'Hey, I'd be more interested in investing than sending you these 50 dollars.'"
