Pitching VCs from Far Far Away
Later this year, the Mandalorian returns to the small screen for Season 2 of one of the hottest reasons everyone has flocked to Disney+
While anxiously awaiting a show near the top of my Must See TV, my family and I spent the weekend binge watching Star Wars while I toiled away on a major update to MediaTech Ventures. With work, startups, and a galaxy far far away on my mind, Baby Yoda struck me as a lesson in reaching venture capitalists from afar.
How on Endor could Baby Yoda teach us about raising capital while we’re stuck at home?? Let’s see where the starship takes us.
Chapter 4: Sanctuary of Season 1, a show that everyone familiar with Star Wars should find familiar. The Mandalorian finds himself in a pub, of sorts, and sets a child of Yoda’s species in a chair before asking about a woman in the corner. The Mandalorian soon finds that the woman has left; he pays the pub owner to watch the child and follows.
Using infrared sensors he tracks her footprints. She ambushes him. The woman knocks him to the ground. The Mandalorian uses his flamethrower but she defend. Finally, both on the ground, the two hold each other at gunpoint: stalemate.
And then we see Baby Yoda, slurping on his bone broth.
