It's time for Episode 034 of The Feedback Loop! And this one gets intense.
We go from talking about a fintech platform focused on retail loyalty programs to predictive AI for medical billing to the concept of investing in high-value influencers... all the way to a debate about whether our phones listen to us or 2020 had puppeteers behind it.

As always, hosted by Sherveen Mashayekhi, Founder & CEO of Free Agency. Today's guest investor is Lainy Painter Singh, Partner at Craft Ventures.
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: Lainy Painter Singh is a Partner at Craft Ventures, an early stage venture fund with a focus on B2B SaaS startups — where she's invested in companies like ClickUp, Instawork, and Trusted Health. She was previously an investor at Battery Ventures, spent time in biz ops at Gainsight, and started her career at Goldman Sachs (on their tech investment team). She is also an active member of All Raise, the nonprofit on a mission to make tech more accessible, equitable, and diverse.
