Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

Humility plays an important role in your fundraise.

Startups demonstrating arrogance and hubris are discounted quickly by investors. It’s not only a sign of disrespect but also a sign of disregard for the future. Who knows what tomorrow will bring and who you will need?

Both startups and investors need to keep the community in mind.

The startup community is well-connected, so word DOES get around about how you treat others.

Humility is a form of empathy for others.

It’s an important part of fostering the startup community.


Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Let’s go startup something today.
