Also Capital is a concentrated venture fund that backs roughly 15 companies per fund, explicitly targeting founders who intentionally pick hard problems and investing at the inception phase before markets are well-defined or consensus has formed. The fund's operator-heavy team includes founders from companies like Varda Space, Vast, and goTenna, and has already produced multiple later-stage leaders in space, nuclear, and critical infrastructure with over $1.5B in follow-on capital raised.

On what slide she actually looks at in your pitch deck
"There is only one, it's the team slide. I'm normally just scrolling through looking for that. I'm being completely honest. Don't pay attention to anything else until I've seen the team slide."

On why fundraising never really stops
"Some founders believe you fundraise, then you pause and build, and then you fundraise again, but in reality, you're always fundraising. It's a game of momentum, so you can't really just stop and then start again. You'll start from scratch."

On a question founders should be asking VCs but almost never do
"Getting defensive when discussing risks or competition. Never say there is no competition, because that simply can’t be true. It’s far more powerful when founders acknowledge what they’re concerned about and what challenges may arise, while also clearly explaining how they plan to mitigate those risks."

On why all company failures trace back to the same root cause
I think it still comes down to trust issues as sort of the common theme. Co-founder breakups, investor relationship problems, internal misalignment of some kind. Biggest lesson I've learned this year is all problems are relationship problems."
