Series A Readiness: What It Actually Takes to Raise Your Next Round

​Presented by Cherryrock Capital and Breakthrough Ventures

​Join Stacy Brown-Philpot and Saydeah Howard, Co-Founders and Managing Partners of Cherryrock Capital, for a candid conversation on raising a Series A — moderated by Roman Scott, Founder and General Partner of Breakthrough Ventures.

​You've raised your seed. You're building. Now the question that keeps you up at night: am I ready?

​We'll cover what best-in-class looks like right now — ARR growth, NRR, burn multiple, sales efficiency — and how the bar shifts by category. What investors need you to have proven: repeatable go-to-market, real retention, a sharp ICP, a team that can scale. Then the mechanics — positioning your wedge, building investor relationships a year before you need them, and running a real process. Plus the questions you should be asking us: reserves, board dynamics, follow-on behavior, and what partnership looks like after the wire clears.
