The Mallick View
Evidence-led perspectives on fundraising, private capital and the choices that shape a founder's outcome.
Founders should use board time to make decisions, set governance, and record accountability. Set two to three decisions, send materials early, pick directors to fill real weaknesses, and record owners and deadlines.
Read articleA high NPS can be useful, but it does not prove product-market fit or future revenue. Bain, Springer, and Cambridge evidence shows founders must connect customer sentiment to renewal, expansion, payment, and profitable referrals.

Read articleAngel investors should set a portfolio system before saying yes. Define breadth, check size, follow-on reserves, diligence depth, and review rules so follow-ons are decisions from a plan, not gut reactions.
