A Top VC’s Brutally Honest Advice for Founders (And Why Miami’s Just Getting Started)

Should founders raise venture capital? What actually makes someone fundable? And what does a top investor really look for in a founder?

In this episode of the Miami Tech Pod, Maria sits down with Ed Sim, founder of Boldstart Ventures and one of the most respected seed investors in tech, to unpack what separates great founders from everyone else — and why the future of AI (and Miami) is moving faster than most people realize.

We cover:

  •  The founder traits Ed bets on (and the ones he avoids) 
  •  The biggest misconception founders have about raising capital 
  •  Why most people shouldn’t raise venture funding 
  •  What AI changes about startups, work, and investing 
  •  What Miami still needs to attract world class talent

Whether you’re building a startup, raising capital, or betting on Miami tech, this one is full of practical lessons.
