Working with Your VC with Nate Martins - FiredUp! Podcast

In this episode of the FiredUp! podcast, Nate Martins dives into the vital role VCs play in supporting their portfolio companies through marketing efforts and actionable steps you can take right now to make the most of your relationship with your VC firm.

_Nate Martins is a marketing and writer who has spent a decade across disciplines—journalism, PR, content, product, lifecycle, copywriting, and more. He was formerly at Notion for four years as the Head of Content and now is Foundation Capital’s Marketing Partner. Foundation Capital is an early-stage venture firm that helps take technical founders from $0 to $1M (and beyond). Outside of work, you’ll find Nate playing basketball, taking a hike, and chasing his toddler around._

Nate, Morgan and Chris discuss:

  • - The three most common things companies seek support from their VC firm with and what the VC might wish their founders would come to them more often for. 
    • - How a VC might help a company develop its message, articulate its value proposition, and adapt messaging for different channels.  - Funding announcements require strategic planning and timing of execution for success while keeping speed and openness to iteration in mind.  - As we near the beginning of 2025, companies might consider exploring trends such as video to enhance their marketing efforts.  - AI can be a valuable tool if used thoughtfully, but we are uncertain of its implications on SEO.
