How Do You Pick the Right Investors?

Going from 0 to 1 -- taking your company from idea to real live working product with customers -- is hard. 

In this special edition of Not Boring Founders, Packy and Thrive Capital's Gaurav Ahuja sit down with Stytch co-founders Reed McGinley-Stempel and Julianna Lamb to discuss how they've done it. In the past 18 months, they left their jobs at Plaid and Very Good Security, raised money from Benchmark, Thrive, and other top funds, hired an all-star team, built a passwordless authentication API and SDK, and sold to their first wave of customers.

We cover: 

• How to make the leap from secure job to startup 
• The importance of clarity of thought 
• How to raise money from VCs 
• How to hire top engineers
• Why you should go slow to go fast
