Naadiya Moosajee Talks Market on Let’s Get Funded

Founders are filled with extraordinary ideas and have the most ambitious goals for the growth of their businesses. Investors are curious to find out if you show an understanding of who you know will part with their money to buy from you. The aim of the game isn’t necessarily to dominate industries but to understand who is realistically available to you as a potential customer.

We are thrilled to have Naadiya Moosajee, the co-founder of WomHub, in this episode of Let’s Get Funded. Naadiya is an engineer turned entrepreneur turned investor. She dives right into demystifying buzzwords and making the concept of identifying and describing a market to an investor accessible and easy to understand. This episode also marks the exact midpoint in our 9-part series, Let’s Get Funded.

5. What are the metrics that I need to have in my pitch about market?
