Hello HN! Atrium CEO Justin Kan here. Happy to answer any questions about the article or how Sisun (who is incredibly awesome) ran his fundraising process after coming to one of our free Atrium Scale boot camps.
PM power! PMs are hustlers and it is great to see a former PM navigate his way through raising a round with a mentor like Justin Kan. Love Justin’s real advice like avoiding the SV beauty contest, staying focused on building your business and bringing in investors who will add value rather than add splash.
The biggest learning I had from this and watching Justin work is to be honest - don’t try to bullshit and pretend you know more than you do. Be honest what you don’t know - but then act quickly to learn what you don’t know and answer those questions.
