Investors in the Hot Seat
The tables are turned. Founders question investors - not the other way around. What does genuine partnership look like beyond the term sheet? What does support beyond capital mean when field data is years away and regulatory pathways are anything but straightforward? And how do you build a relationship that holds up when things get hard?
Early-stage founders put leading agri-investors in the hot seat, probing the questions that rarely get asked in a pitch room: how investors really behave when a start-up is struggling, what rights they exercise and why, and whether patient capital is a genuine commitment or just a talking point.
