Calling all entrepreneurs...

You've got the ideas and the means, but not necessarily the funds. Raising capital is a necessary part of the process, and it can certainly be an intimidating one as well. Getting that meeting with a potential investor is difficult in itself, but have you ever wondered what's going through the head of that person sitting across from you?

This week on Awesome Office, Sean sits down with venture capitalist Rick Smith to give you just that insight. Founder and Managing Director at Crosscut, Rick is a huge player in the Los Angeles venture capitalist community. Tune in to this episode and learn what venture capitalists like Rick look for in a company, so that you can take that next step in raising money for your very own.

On this episode of the podcast, we welcome a guest from one of the most exhilarating markets in Los Angeles. Where technology and Hollywood intertwine... the videogame market provides people with countless interactive worlds within worlds to escape to. "What sorts of people?" you may ask... and to that, our guest Grant Johnson (CEO at Interpret) could give you an answer. 

Grant and his team at Interpret provide not only an understanding of client demographic, but also the behavior, trends, and attitude around the products and value they provide. Beyond video game publishers, Interpret works with social media platforms, esports leagues and advertisters, telecoms, consumer electronics firms, digital entertainment producers and distributors, advertising agencies, and media planning firms. 

This week, join us as Sean and Grant dive into what it means to grow in experience and understanding, both as an individual and a company.
