When a venture capitalist invests in a startup, they’re investing in more than just the company. A strong founder-market-fit is vital. And few understand that better than today’s guest. As a serial entrepreneur, he’s focused his attention on leadership and has broken the mold for what makes a successful CEO. Join us in today’s conversation with Jeron Paul, Founder and CEO of Spiff, and investor Gavin Christensen of Kickstart (a VC firm for startups in Utah, Colorado, and the Mountain West) as we bring you both sides of a Perfect Pitch. In this episode, we’ll talk about:

  • What founder-market-fit is and why entrepreneurs and investors should care
  • Pitfalls and benefits of a repeat founder
  • Why a founder’s success hinges on self-awareness
  • Jeron’s belief that you shouldn’t hire “culture fits”
