What founders actually want from backers

by Emma Thompson

Raising for a climate hardware startup taught me: money is the easy part. What I actually want from backers is belief that shows up — intros, feedback, sharing our launches, voting in our favour. The community-staking model is interesting because it turns hundreds of small backers into a hundreds-strong distribution and feedback engine. If you back a founder, do the unsexy thing: tell three people about them this week.

Intros > cash at the early stage, every time.

Belief that shows up. Stealing that phrase for my next LP update.
