CAMentrepreneurs Fundraising Mythbusting Workshop
Most founders approach investors with the same misconceptions, and most pay for it. This workshop cuts through the noise, tackling 11 of the most common myths we've seen entrepreneurs get wrong on their path to funding.
What began at Cambridge University has grown into a truly global series in which leading institutions including SKEMA Business School, IE Business School, and Tel Aviv University School of Management, alongside universities and partner organizations across the world invite Qodeo to bring this workshop to their communities.
What You'll Learn
We'll unpack 11 myths that trip up even experienced founders, including:
Myth 1: VCs care more about financials than any other criteria
Myth 2: You should target the largest investors with a track record in your sector
Myth 3: Raising a small round indicates success and is more likely to close
...and 8 more that could be standing between you and your next round.
