In this short monologue, Jeff "fuzzy" Wenzel warns startup founders that providing overly detailed answers to investor questions—known as over‑answering—creates the impression of uncertainty and pressure rather than preparation. He explains that founders should trust the investor’s question, answer it directly, and pause, allowing the investor to request more detail if needed. This disciplined back‑and‑forth creates a rhythm that builds trust, whereas excessive detail feels defensive and breaks that rhythm. The piece concludes with a call to follow for more insights to stay sharp under capital‑raising pressure.
