In this clip, Paul Palmieri breaks down what GRIT Capital looks for in early-stage AI founders. Spoiler: outsourcing your tech build without a technical co-founder? That’s a deal-breaker.

Paul lays out the real criteria:
✅ A go-to-market founder CEO with vision
✅ A strong technical partner at the table
✅ A large, AI-addressable market
✅ Early traction that shows clear pattern recognition
