$how Me the Money: AMA on Fundraising

​The truth about raising capital—straight from founders who just did it.

​Fundraising isn’t a highlight reel—it’s a grind. Join us for a panel and Q&A with 3 founders who recently closed their rounds and are ready to share what actually happened—the wins, the stumbles, and everything in between.

​We’ll cover:
– What made the difference in getting to a “yes”
– How long it really takes to close a round
– What they wish they’d done differently
– The state of the market (from the founder’s side of the table)

​The founders we'll hear from:

​Varun Puri - CEO & Co-Founder Yoodli - Recently raised $13.7M Series A funding

​Alejandro Castellano - CEO & Co-Founder Caddi - Recently raised $5M seed round

​Theo Ellis - CEO & Co-Founder Friday Harbor - Recently raised $6M seed round

​AI2 has helped founders raise over $325M (we counted). This is your chance to hear directly from the people who’ve made it through.

​Pizza is on us! Funding advice is free.
