This is a YouTube video titled "De-Risk Your Tech Before You Fundraise | Agentic" featuring George Bandarian explaining the process of de-risking early-stage startups by identifying and validating assumptions through customer feedback cycles. The content is focused on startup risk management and fundraising preparation, recorded in 2025.
De risking in the early stage is all about taking all your assumptions, identifying them, writing them on paper, stack ranking your assumptions by the riskiest on top. So if you have an assumption that I already know what I need to know, and everybody's going to buy you had that dynamic stack ranking that might come to the top. So you say, okay, this is the first Jenga I need to pull out. And so let me go validate that real quick. Let me spend like a one week cycle, two week cycle. Go talk to like 5, 10, 15, 20 people. Just revalidate that. The they still want this, they want it this way, and they want it from me, and they're willing to pay for it. Check that one off your list and then move to the next riskiest assumption.
