At Techcrunch All Stage 2025 On July 15 in Boston, Charles Hudson, an executive partner and founder of Pioneer Winds, will walk founders through the subtle, high signals that matter when data is scarce and the pitch is all.
In his session “All ways you don’t notice, VCs rate your company at pre-seed,” Hudson will withdraw the curtain on how investors estimate early stages and why founders often underestimate the weight of seemingly small choices.

It’s not just about the idea. It’s about how you arrange the show.
From your choice of co-founder to how you arrange your fundraising process, all you do-or don’t make-is a signal. Charles Hudson will emphasize the common red flags that have tracked investors before one term sheet is on the table. For example, an incomparable co -foundable dynamics may suggest bad employment instincts. Lazy exit? That signals that you didn’t do the job. These are the unproven indications that can make or break a round – and most founders never hear about them.
