Entrepreneurship is hard, it requires guts, sacrifice, and the willingness to endure, which is one of many reasons why Today’s guest, Brandon Shelton, is bullish about investing in veteran-led startups. Brandon is an Army Veteran, as well as the Founder and Managing Partner of Tasks Force Capital, an early-stage venture capital firm investing in service-driven, high-performing and commercially tested military and national security startups, led by Veterans who have a passion for solving real-world issues by using technology to build ideas that are net new to our society. Brandon is a bit of a contrarian when it comes to venture investing. He has strong views about what’s wrong with the industry, which we’ll get into on the show, and believes too much emphasis is placed on funds and their leadership, and not the founders. If you’re thinking about raising capital or are already in the process of doing so, make sure you get out some pen and paper for today’s show.
