How to Get “FUNDABLE”
with Sephi Shapira, Tech Entrepreneur, Founder and Mentor
Sephi Shapira has spent over twenty years as a tech entrepreneur, founding multiple start-ups. Since 2010, he has mentored over 100 tech CEOs as they secured over $1 billion in financing at various growth stages.
In an intimate conversation with longtime friend Ronen Mense, Sephi shares the core principles of getting funded, the uselessness of “company decks,” and why it’s critical to demonstrate bold leadership over obedient followership in attracting investors.
With decades of experience as a mentor, he discusses the gender gap in tech entrepreneurship and offers solid, practical insights on resolving it.
Ronen and Sephi’s wide-ranging conversation also includes thoughts on Adam Neumann’s media savvy, differences between VCs in Asia and the West, and the direct relationship between clarity of vision and the ability to execute.
This episode is a perfect companion to Sephi’s book FUNDABLE: Why Some Entrepreneurs Get Funded, And Others Do Not!
