## Resource

Check out the Program Execution System Toolkit: https://implementgpts.com/pestoolkit =============== In this episode of Systems of Scale , I sit down with Elie Bouzaglou, founder of Fish Tank, to explore how startup fundraising is changing and why the next generation of founders may be judged less by pitch decks and more by their ability to build in public. Elie makes the case that access to capital should be more open, more visible, and more connected to real market validation. We talk about why traditional fundraising often fails founders without credentials or warm intros, how founder-led content is becoming a serious go-to-market signal, and why Fish Tank is being built as a platform where entrepreneurs can share, refine, and fund their ideas in public. We also explore the shift from the engineer-founder archetype to the content creator-founder archetype, why public feedback matters, and how failure becomes part of the process when you are building something meaningful. Watch the full conversation to understand how Fish Tank is rethinking startup funding, founder visibility, and the future of entrepreneurship. =============== Elie’s Links: - Website: https://www.fishtank.vc/ - LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/elie-bouzaglo - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FishTank.vc =============== - My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-gatzke/ - Schedule Free Blueprinting Call: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/implement-ai-blueprinting =============== Highlights: 00:35 Introduce Elie 02:34 Exploring investors 06:15 Question validation 12:07 Unpack fundraising 17:01 Exploring evolution 19:27 Discuss content 23:25 Ask feedback 28:15 Revisit fundraising 31:53 Discuss entrepreneurship 35:39 Explore pressure 38:05 Ask launch 39:49 Elie’s vision 41:17 Bil…
