  • On finding 100 rabid fans the Hustle Fund way | Elizabeth Yin

    On finding 100 rabid fans the Hustle Fund way | Elizabeth Yin
    Feb 12 2026
    In this episode of Nothing Ventured, we’re joined by Elizabeth Yin, Co-Founder & GP at Hustle Fund, to break down what actually matters at pre-seed. We talk about why finding 100 rabid fans beats chasing TAM, why distribution is the last real moat, and how founders should think about product-market fit in 2026. Elizabeth shares: – Why most founders misunderstand PMF – The fastest way to validate demand at pre-seed – How to build distribution before product is perfect – Why niche markets win early – The biggest VC advice that hurts founders If you’re an early-stage founder, operator, or angel, this is a must-watch.

  • What's With Web3?

    What's With Web3?
    Feb 5 2026
    Web3 didn’t disappear — it just stopped shouting. In this live anniversary episode of Nothing Ventured, we go inside Web3 Demo Day in London, where founders, investors, and operators come together to pitch, debate, and build what’s next — without the hype. You’ll hear directly from: - Early-stage Web3 and blockchain founders - Angel investors and VCs backing the next wave - Ecosystem leaders working across crypto, AI, and emerging tech We talk fundraising realities, why Web3 lost the narrative, how blockchain is quietly powering real use cases, and what founders actually need to focus on in 2026. This isn’t a studio podcast it’s live conversations, real energy, and honest insights from the floor.
