Most founders never truly understand how investors think.

They see capital as money.

Investors see risk, leadership, judgement, timing, structure, governance, and downside protection long before they ever consider upside.

Inside the Mind of Investors™ is a candid interview series with the people who actually write the cheques — and the entrepreneurs who’ve successfully earned their trust.

Across the series, Tom Luttrell speaks directly with:

• Highly successful Angel Investors
• Serial Entrepreneurs who have built and exited real businesses
• Venture Capital and Private Equity leaders
• Family Offices and institutional investors
• M&A professionals and capital allocators

These are not surface-level conversations.

They explore how real investment decisions are made, what separates fundable founders from hopeful ones, how credibility is built under pressure, and what investors actually look for when risk is on the line.

Guests share their personal journeys, hard lessons, failures, decision frameworks, and the realities of deploying serious capital — not theory, not hype, and not marketing narratives.

For founders, developers, and business owners, this series provides rare access to the thinking that normally stays behind closed doors.

If you want to stop guessing what investors want — and start understanding how they actually think — this series will change how you approach capital forever.
