Founder Unfriendly Live AMA with Amanda Hesser of Food52

As part of the launch of Charlie O’Donnell’s Founder Unfriendly: What Investors Won’t Tell You About Getting Funded, we’re hosting a series of 30-minute live AMAs with experienced founders and operators to unpack how fundraising really works. These sessions explore how investors evaluate opportunities, what the real bar looks like, and how founders should think about timing and decision-making. This session features Amanda Hesser, Founder and Executive Chair of Food52 and former New York Times food editor.
