​How I Raised My Seed is a webinar series centered around open discussion regarding best practices for raising a Seed round. Every other month, we invite two or three founders who have successfully raised a round in the past few months and foster an open dialogue around what worked and what didn't.

​Panelists:

​VITA MALLELA - CEO & CO-FOUNDER

​Manvitha (Vita) Mellela is the CEO and co-founder of Flock AI, the AI visual commerce platform transforming how brands shift from traditional photoshoots to unlimited, tailored content that drives 1:1 personalized shopping experiences. Before Flock, she managed operations at Bloomingdale's and Walmart, where she saw firsthand how broken and expensive content creation was for brands trying to keep up with ecommerce, social, and retail needs. Today, leading fashion and retail brands use Flock to generate all the visual content they need to sell, achieving 90% cost savings and 30%+ conversion lift. Flock has raised $7.5M in total funding to date.

​YUVRAJ SINGH SHERGILL - CEO & CO-FOUNDER

​Yuvraj Singh Shergill, Founder & CEO Arusto (Lovable for video-learning content creation for enterprises). Ex-McKinsey EM; former advisor to a global political leader. Built digital academies for a decade and scaled two bootstrapped startups to $1M+ ARR.
