Описание: What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur today? Because the truth is, lack of capital destroys most businesses. Whether a startup or a seasoned business owner here are business tips that can help you scale in today's market. In this episode, Michael E. Parker, sits down with Venture Capitalist Cory Haynes, CEO of Vanta Venture to discuss how to make your business fundable so that you can raise capital. Understanding MRR, TAM, SAM, and SOM, speaking the language of investors, and building recurring revenue models that attract capital.

We also explore the AI hype cycle—and why massive companies are slowing down AI adoption.
