The Systematic Venture ·

2025/09/18

In this episode, I explain why storytelling is not just about marketing but a core driver of product development. I use examples from my own work in accounting software and running a pizza brand, along with lessons from companies like Amazon, Tesla, Salesforce, and Slack.

The Systematic Venture ·

2025/08/16

I’ve been a terrible failure at raising funds. From the very beginning, my company was built in a way that almost guaranteed it would never raise a single VC penny. I struggled because of that. Today I’m in a better place, but back then I really wished I had some cash to move faster. It would have made things easier, and even now I might be in a stronger position.Over time I’ve come to understand some of the patterns: the importance of storytelling, timing, VC incentives, and how you craft your

2025/07/30

This isn’t a full episode, just a pause to acknowledge something that matters to me and to explain why it matters at all. We recently crossed one-thousand downloads. For the big shows that’s background noise; for me it’s a concrete sign that strangers in thirty-seven countries have decided the ideas here deserve a slice of their day. I started this feed from absolute zero a few months ago. No audience, no archives, no reason to assume anyone would care. Knowing that hundreds of individuals have

I explain how to spend more time on leads, especially at the very beginning of a company when you want to close your first clients. I offer two simple tips: * Qualify leads ruthlessly and apply priority principles to your sales pipeline. * Second, spend more time reflecting and ask yourself: what would I do if this were my only lead?

2025/07/20

FOMO is irresistible at the beginning of a company, everyone wants to chase quick profits, which is understandable since companies usually start with nothing.

I’m a math guy, a software engineer, and a B2B SaaS entrepreneur. But I also open more traditional businesses—like what I believe is the best pizzeria in Medellín.Running a pizzeria taught me fundamentals I never truly grasped in tech: how to win trust fast, how to build something people actually come back for, how to sell with urgency and soul. In this episode, I approach the passion side of entrepreneurship—the irrational drive behind great products, whether it's code or crust.If you’re curious

In this podcast, we explore the difference between two types of selling:* For B2B, when migration is traumatic, you must first pitch by addressing and capping the downsides.* For B2C, where the product is commodity-sized or churn is extremely high, you need to pitch the upside and make it feel critical.We will see how type 1 critical products should market themselves like type 2, and how type 2 critical products should sell themselves as if they were type 1, emphasizing their critical nature.April

TSV Podcast #11 - Sales : Process and purpose

The Systematic Venture ·

2025/06/12

This episode is based on real user feedback I gave to my sales team at my accounting software company. For a few months, I've noticed that our conversion rate is not great, even though we have some excellent leads. I decided to review the sales recordings and sales communications. I realized that she was focusing more on the process rather than the purpose. You need to spend time on your leads, especially when you are selling something like accounting, like us.
