Circuit Launch Masterclass series: Fundraising Ops + GTM for Deep Tech
Raising money for a hardware or deep tech company isn't like raising for SaaS. Your timelines are longer, you need more capital, and investors want proof that there's a market before the product is finished.
Join Kashyap Kompella of TPH Ventures for a practical masterclass on how to run your fundraise like an operating process, and how to build a go-to-market story that deep tech investors believe.
What you'll learn:
How to run a fundraise as a pipeline: target lists, CRM, cadence and follow-up
What deep tech investors look for at pre-seed, seed and Series A
How to match milestones (technical, commercial, regulatory) to each round
How to build a GTM plan before your product ships: design partners, pilots, LOIs
Common mistakes in hardware pitch decks, data rooms and financial models
How to tell a market story when your market doesn't exist yet
Agenda:
6:00: Check-in, food and networking
6:30: Masterclass: fundraising ops + GTM for deep tech
7:15: Live Q&A and founder deck feedback
7:40: Open networking
Who it's for: Hardware, robotics, climate, semiconductor and other deep tech founders who are raising now or plan to within 12 months.
