Building better relationships between founders and investors. That's the mission behind Canopy Community and the Investor Circle podcast. We believe great founders can come from anywhere. But too often, investment feels confusing, inaccessible or reserved for people with the right networks, introductions or experience. We're here to change that. In each episode, host Stewart Noakes sits down with angel investors, venture capitalists, family offices, fund managers and leaders from across the startup ecosystem to explore what really happens behind investment decisions. Together they uncover the conversations that rarely happen in public. - What makes an investor believe in a founder? - Why do some startups raise funding while others don't? - How do experienced investors assess opportunity, risk and character? - What does a great investment relationship actually look like?
