You Raised the Money. Now What?
You raised the money. Now what?
Everyone teaches you how to fundraise. Almost no one teaches you what happens after the wire hits.
This session is designed to help founders navigate the chaos that comes after closing a round and build the operational foundation that turns capital into growth.
We're covering:
◆ What actually breaks after funding – the mental shifts, team dynamics, and decisions that catch founders off guard
◆ The duct-tape audit – how to spot the workarounds that won't survive your next phase of growth
◆ The foundation before the floor – the compliance, financial, and people infrastructure you need before you scale anything
◆ People ops that grow with you – what it actually takes to hire, pay, and manage a team without it becoming your full-time job
Who it's for:
Founders who are post-raise, building an early team, and realizing that the stuff that got you here won't get you there.
💰 Attendees may also qualify for the Just Thrive program for founders with marginalized identities and nonprofits committed to racial equity.
