Kat Weaver on Leadership, Systems, and the Art of Raising Capital

In this episode of Built for Profit, I'm joined by Kat Weaver, founder of Power to Pitch, a company that has helped entrepreneurs raise more than $70 million in grants and venture capital. After building and successfully exiting her first company, Kat turned her experience winning 22 of 23 pitch competitions into a proven system that helps founders communicate their vision, attract investors, and secure funding. We discuss what makes a business truly fundable, the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when raising capital, and why communication is often the difference between getting a meeting and getting a check. Kat also shares how AI is changing the fundraising process, why coachability matters more than most founders realize, and the systems she uses to help businesses scale more efficiently. Whether you're raising your first round of capital or simply looking to become a stronger business leader, this conversation is packed with practical lessons on positioning, leadership, delegation, and building a company investors believe in.
