What We’ve Learned:
Storytelling is everything. Pitching your company isn’t just about the product or the numbers—it’s about selling the dream. A compelling narrative ties together your vision, the industry, and the deeper why behind what you're building. Investors, users, and partners connect with stories, not just stats. The goal is to make it make sense.
What We’re Reading:
📓
opines on how overstuffed closets are suffocating us, filled with clothes we rarely wear: Despite purchasing more clothing than ever before, many of us struggle with decision fatigue and a disconnected sense of personal style. In fact, the average American now purchases 68 items of clothing per year, twice as many as in the 1960s, but these items are kept half as long. Veurink argues that true style comes from moderation and repetition, suggesting that we find value in fewer, more intentional pieces to reduce waste and reconnect with our personal style.🎧 Kelley Arena joins Jasmine Garnsworthy on the Female Founder World podcast to drop some serious fundraising wisdom: As the founder of Golden Hour Ventures—a fund and venture studio dedicated to helping more women access capital—Kelley shares what female founders really need to know about raising money. From building traction that impresses investors to creating systems for fundraising (plus some insider tea on pitch competitions and grants), this episode is the wake-up call every founder needs. Kelley is one of the two women behind the Dream Ventures Accelerator (which Cache had the opportunity to participate in). If you're looking to level up your funding game, you won’t want to miss it!
