1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Most founders think raising money is the goal. It’s not. In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie sits down with Adam Spector, CEO of Chore and an angel investor backing early-stage companies. Adam has seen both sides of the table — building companies and investing in them. In this conversation, we unpack: • What investors actually look for in founders • Why most startups fail before they even start • The difference between a good idea and a real business • How founders should think about capital, growth, and risk • Why the environment and the rooms you sit in shape your trajectory If you're building a company or thinking about raising capital, this conversation will change how you look at entrepreneurship. This episode is part of&amp;nbsp;The Kronos Group Podcast, where experienced operators and founders share real-world lessons on building, scaling, and protecting their businesses.
