We seek out visionary leaders who are driving significant change and innovation within their industries or deploying capital into groundbreaking startups and other transformational businesses. Our guests have proven track records of success, whether it’s getting a startup off the ground or navigating the complexities of evaluating early-stage investment opportunities. Most importantly, our guests must be engaging storytellers capable of sharing compelling narratives about their professional journeys that captivate listeners and provide relatable learnings. By having guests with these qualities, we ensure our audience gains invaluable insights from the forefront of the startup ecosystem.

Appearing as a guest on The Innovators & Investors Podcast offers several key advantages:

Participate in meaningful conversations that highlight your mission and achievements while providing actionable advice to others in the startup and investment ecosystems. Share compelling insights that can enlighten peers and inspire emerging entrepreneurs.

If you are a visionary leader at the forefront of the startup ecosystem, driving significant change or deploying capital in early-stage companies, we invite you to share your story on The Innovators & Investors Podcast. To be considered as a guest, please follow these steps:

1. Ensure you meet the guest criteria: You should be a founder, president, CEO of an investor-backed or bootstrapped startup grossing at least $1M in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and experiencing momentum. Alternatively, you could be a family office CIO, venture capitalist, angel investor, or work at an accelerator or studio actively investing in early-stage companies across various industries.
2. Complete the guest application form, providing details about yourself, your company or investment firm, job title, website, social media profiles, and a professional headshot.
3. If your application is successful, our team will reach out with instructions to book your interview slot on the calendar.

As a featured guest, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your successes, challenges, and strategies navigating the early-stage business ecosystem. You’ll also receive valuable tips from our host, Kristian Marquez, to help you connect with our audience, gain exposure, and potentially attract new customers or partners. The interview will be conducted via Zoom, and we’ll provide guidance on technical requirements to ensure a smooth recording experience.

Gaming headsets and internal laptop microphones are usually very poor quality and may require rescheduling our interview.

Three options to consider:

• Audio-Technica AT2005USB
• Blue Yeti
• Blue Snowball
• Order this on Amazon and you can have it in two days. If you would like to do more podcast interviews, this is something you’ll want to have. As a last resort, Apple Airpods and Airpod Pros are typically acceptable quality.
