How to Get Your First VC Dollar | Alif Livestream
Raising Your First VC Check (Without Wasting Months)
Raising your first venture dollar can feel like a black box.
Most founders spin their wheels cold emailing hundreds of investors, over-optimizing their deck, chasing intros that go nowhere, and then wondering why nothing converts.
The reality is simpler:
You don’t need 50 investors.
You need one.
And that first “yes” doesn’t come from your deck.
It comes from belief.
In this livestream, we’ll break down what actually gets an investor to believe in you before you ever step into the room.
I’m hosting this session with Kenan Saleh (Partner at a16z Speedrun), who’s funded hundreds of early-stage companies and has been on both sides of the table as a founder and investor.
If you’re planning to raise in the next few months, this is for you.
