Magic 8 Ball with Melissa and Micaela: Going Fast vs. Going Forward

When founders feel stuck, their first instinct is to crave speed. But moving faster in the wrong direction will only make matters worse. In this episode, we go hard on what happens when founders confuse momentum with alignment, how misalignment can become a quiet crisis, and the questions we need to ask when things feel off but we may not be sure why. ------ In Magic 8 Ball with Melissa and Micaela, RevUp Capital’s Melissa Withers and Micaela Kamp dig into the messy reality of early-stage investing and biz building when the rules are changing faster than the playbooks. These quick-fire convos are an honest window into the decisions, tradeoffs, and hard truths they’ve learned after a decade working across 70+ companies. There are no easy answers, and when they can’t figure it out, the Magic 8 Ball has the final say. ------ Hosted by Melissa Withers and Micaela Kamp Episodes Edited by Rebecca Lawrence
