What Successful Repeat Founders Do Differently (And What First Time Founders Can Learn From Them)
This week’s conversation brings together a founder who's started 3 companies, exited twice to public companies, and raised over $300 million in VC money + the perspective of a leading seed stage VC who has a thesis that focuses on a rare breed of founder.
Topics we'll explore include:
💰Hard fought lessons learned across 20+ fundraising processes, from both sides of the table
🥾“Boots on the ground” information about the current seed funding environment
🤝How to build, manage, and close a pipeline of investors while maintaining product and sales momentum
We’ll also leave time for you to have an opportunity to ask our panelists your questions about company building, fundraising, or whatever topics would be most helpful to your founder journey.
