Fundraising is much more than a Pitchdeck
Raising capital can unlock a startup’s potential. Done poorly, it can consume months of a founder’s time and put the entire company at risk.
The challenge is that fundraising involves far more than building a great pitch deck.
A successful fundraise requires a clear story, a thoughtful process, a strong investor pipeline, and the discipline to manage that pipeline from the first introduction through the final close.
In this free workshop, Mike Lewis will break down the method behind running a professional fundraise. He will cover frameworks including “The 28 Questions All Investors Ask” and the “Minimum Viable Investor Funnel,” giving founders a practical way to prepare for and manage a raise at any stage of the startup journey.
Whether your company is barely off the ground or well beyond product market fit, you will leave with a clearer understanding of what investors need to believe and how to build a fundraising process around it.
Please leave the recording bots at home. This is a live workshop, not a content farm.
