What is Thrive Through Connection?

Fundraising isn’t just about pitch decks, valuations, or growth curves. It’s about relationships. Thrive Through Connection is a podcast from Visible that explores the human stories behind the capital.

Founders don’t raise alone. They lean on their teams, advisors, peers, and investors to navigate the highs and lows of building something from nothing. In each episode, we sit down with founders and investors to unpack the setbacks, breakthroughs, and moments of clarity that shaped their journey. This is your inside look at what it really takes to thrive through connection.
