With only a week left to apply to #TheAffies it seems like a good time to pick our judges' brains! What will make you stand out in the #AFAawards? Read their insights ⬇️ and show us what you're building at hustlefund.typeform.com/AFAawards
"I get most excited about founders who have a mission aligned with their values. They identify a problem they want to see solved in the world & will put their passion into making it happen. Making lots of money is cool, but I love founders who commit because they care." @ericbahn
"Confidence is the main factor to making anyone stand out. How confident are you when pitching potential investors? Do you make them feel that if they don't invest, they'll miss out on the next Apple? Framing yourself & your idea confidently is your ultimate weapon." -Steven Yu
"For me, it's all about face-to-face time, even on zoom. Nothing beats initial interactions with a founder to gauge their tenacity & story. It's a huge asset if founders can connect well with others - you never know who your next investor or customer will be!" - @janelspilker
