Why Investors Say No (And Why That’s Not the End of the Story)

Hearing “no” from an investor can feel like the end of the road, but it rarely is. Drawing on insights from a recent podcast conversation with Jamie Roberts, this piece explores what investor rejection really means, why most no’s aren’t personal, and how founders can use early conversations to strengthen their funding journey.

Acquisitions can accelerate growth, but only when they’re intentional and well-structured. In this first joint piece from YFM and Triple Point, Jamie Roberts and Dominic Reason share five practical themes for successful acquisition-led expansion, from strategic clarity to integration discipline, offering founders a grounded starting point for deciding whether to “buy to grow.”
