Ep. 30: Wearables, college, AI for BI

The Feedback Loop

Show Notes

On Episode 030 of The Feedback Loop! We hear from founders building: AI-driven enterprise marketing for impact, a wearable for tracking your stress and emotions, an AI-driven platform for business intelligence insights, and a marketplace for college admissions mentorship and guidance.

As always, hosted by Sherveen Mashayekhi, Founder & CEO of Free Agency. ​Today's guest investor is Jesse Middleton, General Partner at Flybridge. More on Jesse below.

The Feedback Loop is all about getting ambitious founders on stage to pitch and get unfiltered feedback from experienced, honest investors.

Because the thing that can hold even the best founders back from reaching their ambition? Their pitch. Whether a startup founder is raising money, recruiting a team, or selling their product, it's the pitch at the start of any given conversation that starts them on a journey to success.

For those founders on stage and in the audience, it's an answer to the essential query: how to pitch your startup.

More on our guest investor for the episode, Jesse: Jesse Middleton is a General Partner at Flybridge, which has invested in companies like BetterCloud, Bowery, Chief, Codecademy, Firebase, MongoDB, and Splice. He is also an Investment Partner at Next Wave NYC and The Community Fund, was a founding team member at WeWork, and led the technology group at LivePerson. He’s also served as a key advisor to companies like fitmob, inDinero, and Squire.
