Shaun Gold—VC (Venture Comedy), top 1% ghostwriter for VCs & founders, best-selling author, speaker, and former nightlife ninja—joins Episode 11 of Startup Wins to share sharp, unconventional insights for founders looking to break through in today’s noisy startup landscape.

Host Brandon Na dives deep with Shaun, exploring his unique path from Miami nightlife to advising VCs, crafting high-impact narratives for high-growth founders, and helping entrepreneurs master the mindset needed to spot and seize opportunities others miss. With his blend of humor, storytelling, and strategic clarity, Shaun reveals what it truly takes to stand out, get funded, and build something meaningful.
