The Folsom Tech Week panel on the founder capital stack was one of the best panel discussions I've heard in a long time. It was packed with insights, and Sara Ledterman shared some particularly sharp advice for entrepreneurs: “Your early investors should be the smart money who add the most value.” Your first backers should be more than just capital—they should be strategic partners who help you navigate early-stage challenges. “VC capital is not your wood, it’s your gasoline.” Venture funding isn’t the foundation of your business—it’s the accelerant. Build something solid first, then use capital to scale smartly. Great discussion and a strong reminder that fundraising is about more than just money. It’s about aligning with the right people at the right time. BarronKent Ventures #FolsomTechWeek #Startups #VentureCapital #FounderAdvice Sara Ledterman Rachel Stern Robert Rodriguez Geoff H.

Attending the Folsom Tech Week panel on Unlocking Northern California for Entrepreneurs! Cameron R. Law and Rick Spencer are deeply engaged in the startup ecosystem, and their insights are both practical and strategic. One quote from Rick Spencer stands out: “You’re building a business, not a pitch deck.” This is a critical mindset for founders. A compelling pitch is important, but long-term success is built on real traction—customers, revenue, and sustainable growth. Investors don’t just back great slides; they back strong #founders & businesses with solid fundamentals. Looking forward to the discussion and connecting with fellow #entrepreneurs.
