The Do’s and Don’ts of Fundraising
Join us for a live Growth Spotlight session on The Do’s and Don’ts of Fundraising.
In this episode, Daniel Sawko, Co-Founder of ShipShape.vc, will be answering questions from Dr. Eren Kocyigit, Founder of NBT (Next Big Thing), in a live conversation focused on the realities of fundraising for early-stage startups.
Together, they will explore what founders should have in place before they start fundraising, the most common mistakes founders make when approaching investors, and what investors usually look for beyond the pitch deck itself. The session will also cover the signals and behaviours that help build investor confidence, what tends to weaken it, and the few fundraising rules every founder should keep in mind.
This session is designed for early-stage founders, startup teams, and anyone looking to approach fundraising with more clarity, credibility, and confidence.
During the live stream, Daniel and Eren will also address questions from the audience if time allows.
