Why Most Software Founders Don't Raise VC Funding Now
VC funding appears to be the popular approach for starting and growing a software company, but in reality, only a small minority of software companies raise funding from institutional investors. Fewer software startups are raising VC funding now because there are other ways to start and grow a software business--with much better odds and results for founders.
Join us for a webinar conversation with Greg Head -exclusively for CMU Founders - where he will discuss alternate funding pathways beyond VC for software founders. This conversation will be moderated by Namrata Banerjee, Director of the CMU VentureBridge program.
Once you are approved for the event, you will receive the Zoom Webinar details.
This event is organized in partnership between the CMU Swartz Center for Entrepreneurship, CMU VentureBridge, and the CMU Alumni Association.
