In this edition of the ONOR Podcast, voices from Los Angeles’s venture ecosystem come together to unpack what truly defines successful partnerships and scalable businesses. It is a conversation that moves beyond surface-level insight, revealing the discipline, tension, and clarity required on both sides of the table.
Featuring Madeline Armitage, Founder, Mhysa, and Nick Bendell, Venture Capital Senior, MTech Capital, this episode reveals what it actually takes to build trust between founders and investors: from rigorous due diligence and identifying hidden risks, to managing the pressures of scaling and using storytelling to stand out in competitive markets.
The real story behind every investment is not found in the numbers. It is shaped in the questions no one avoids and the decisions no one takes lightly.
Drawing on publicly available data and firm disclosures, Eos Venture Partners manages a flagship fund of over $650M focused on insurance innovation, while MTech Capital has built a global portfolio spanning the insurtech ecosystem, supporting founders from early-stage to scale.Grounded in real experience, this is a conversation about honest expectations and hard-won judgment.
