For anyone interested in learning about investing in early stage private companies, this podcast is a must.

As a start-up co-founder I wish I had started listening to this show way before I learned to crawl, walk and talk. Nick Moran is very sharp and objective. He asks good relevant questions.

Looking to learn and understand what’s important as a new founder looking to raise capital? TFR has been the best resource. 10 minute investor stories episodes are great “sips of information”

This is a high quality investing podcast. Great host and great guest. High quality production. I usually let a few episodes queue so that I can binge several at a time. From my startup side experience, I always find it interesting to hear from the investors.

Male listener love it via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/30/18
While the podcast caters to investors, it has been very helpful from the founder perspective — it helps me understand the headspace certain VCs occupy and what they are dealing with re: LPs. I rely on it to bring me out of the weeds and to keep me sharp for the next round.

Interesting and easily digestible. Nick is a great interviewer and gets high caliber guests. Recaps are also very helpful
H_ramsey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/17
Interviews guests like he's reading directly from a script. Get rid of the 2+ minute intro and outro in every single episode, read in the slowest, monotonic, robotic voice. Give us stories from your background and show your personality. When you have top quality guests on, ask them tough...Read full review »
