Let’s be honest—most founders are chasing traction without stopping to ask: Is this still what I want to build?

In this episode, I talk with Amit Garg, Managing Partner at Tau Ventures, about what it means to build a purpose-aligned business from the ground up. From launching a hospital in India to raising $86M for a venture fund, Amit shares what real alignment looks like.

🎧 You’ll learn:

How to know if your business is actually venture-backable
What founders get wrong about raising capital
Why your pitch deck could be building a business you don’t want to run
How to use purpose as your operating system
Why public thinking is the new investor filter

If your business looks successful but doesn’t feel right, it’s time to reset. 👉 Work with A.J.
