From Momentum to the Next Round: A Breakfast Conversation for Series A+ Founders
Join us on Wednesday, May 14 from 8:30 to 10:30 AM for an intimate breakfast conversation hosted by HearstLab in partnership with HubSpot for Startups, created exclusively for Series A+ founders preparing for a growth stage raise.
The morning will bring together founders and ecosystem leaders for breakfast, networking, and a candid discussion featuring HearstLab’s Beth Devin and Ava Chang, Investor at FoW Partners. Together, they will explore what growth-stage investors want to see from companies building real momentum toward the next round, including how later-stage expectations differ from early-stage investing, which metrics matter most, how founders can build strong relationships with these funds, and what to expect around returns, exit strategies, and board dynamics.
