When

About this session
A founder and an investor sit side by side and tell the unvarnished story of a real round — from first meeting to wire transfer. FINTOP Capital co-founder Joe Maxwell shares the investor side alongside founders from Nashville's Torch Collective: what almost killed the deal, what sealed it, and what each side wishes the other understood sooner.
