Field notes
Most founders overwork the deck and underwork the evidence. Investors are judging whether the company deserves trust, not whether the slides are polished.
The best founder narratives are not inspirational. They are coherent. The company, the founder, and the timing all need to make sense together.
Capital, growth, and trust all move differently in MENA and other emerging markets. Your fundraising story needs to reflect that reality.
