The Pre-Seed Podcast with Fexingo: Idea-Stage Founders, First Checks, and Earliest Funding

What does it actually take to get a pre-seed check written in 2024? Lucas and Luna sit down with founders who raised their first institutional money before having a product, a co-founder, or even a clear market. Each episode reconstructs the exact pitch, the numbers on the cap table, and the moments that made an angel say yes. Lucas presses for the unit economics that were actually in the deck; Luna asks how the founder dealt with the 40 rejections. This show is for the solo founder who has a slide deck but no warm intro — and wants to see how others crossed that gap. No success-porn, no generic advice: just the concrete mechanics of the first check, deal by deal.
