Fundraising Best Practices Workshop - Grid110 x Mercury
Fundraising Best Practices - Grid110 x Mercury
Raising capital can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to. The truth is, your best investors often start with the people you already know. In this virtual workshop, you'll learn how to work smarter (not harder) when it comes to fundraising.
In this session, you'll learn how early stage founders can take greatest advantage of their existing network in starting fundraising outreach, how to cater pitches for specific investor personas and best practices in outreach, messaging and follow ups. This tactically oriented session is meant to teach you how to optimize the limited communication and time you have with prospective investors and determine your best path based on what you're able to learn about them.
Whether you're just starting to think about raising or you're already in conversations, you'll walk away with a concrete playbook to make every interaction count.
The session will be led by Anand Deshpande, Investor Partnerships @Mercury, angel investor and startup mentor.
