Highs and Lows of Venture Rounds

​Highs and Lows of Venture Rounds

​This session focuses on the realities of raising venture rounds — the wins, the setbacks, and everything in between. Two founders who have each raised over $10M join us to share their unfiltered experiences navigating the fundraising process.

​In this session, we focus on the two most important questions that founders are looking to understand:

• ​The Highs — What were the pivotal moments, relationships, or signals that unlocked meaningful investor interest and kept the process moving?

• ​The Lows — What were the unexpected challenges, and how did these founders navigate setbacks to ultimately close their rounds?

​The session will leave time for a brief Q&A at the end to make the discussion interactive. The event is most useful for founders currently fundraising or preparing to raise their next venture round.

​Our Background: Backed by a16z and YCombinator, Metal is an AI-powered operating system for fundraising that brings intelligence to core workflows.

​This event is organised by Metal — speakers to be announced soon.
