Accelerated fundraising: how top founders raise fast
Most startup fundraises take 4-8 months - and that's including the prep.
But it doesn't have to take that long.
Top founders run a fundraise in 1-3 months, end-to-end. How do they do this?
Because these top founders run a dramatically tighter process, from preparing for the fundraise all the way to closing a term sheet.
This session is taught by startup fundraising coach Jorian Hoover (60+ founders coached, $270M+ raised) and startup sales expert Rob Snyder (Harvard fellow, 50+ startups coached from $0 to $1M+ ARR).
You'll learn three things:
Win the Raise before it starts. Start at an inflection point, build founder-to-founder intro paths months ahead, and release a "dam" of 50-100 warm intros all at once.
Dual-track your prep. Build your story and your VC list in parallel instead of sequentially, pressure-test your story with a few VC sneak-peek meetings, and learn what you can cut vs. what you should never cut.
Compress your investor meetings. 40+ first meetings in 1-2 weeks, additional VC waves to layer on, with a goal of 2-4+ term sheets received in the same window.
Throughout, Jorian will share real benchmarks, stories from founders he's worked with, and which caveats to take note of.
Format: 90 minutes, a 60-min core teaching session plus 30-min for live Q&A
