Four partners at early-stage food and beverage funds answer Startup CPG's questions on how they value young brands, why many deals now use convertible notes, how they find companies and when a founder should wait before raising. They disagree on timing and speak for the market as it was when recorded, so use the episode to learn the terms and to prepare questions for any investor.
