Fundraising training with Ashis & Tapa
This is a crash course on running the fundraising process.
Ashis & Tapa will be giving a crash course on pre-seed & seed fundraising. Many of you probably do not know there's a certain process you can run to maximize your fundraising success. In this fireside chat, we will talk about everything from getting investor meetings to scheduling these meetings, the storytelling of the pitch, qualifying investors, creating urgency in the round, closing a lead investor, and finishing the round with an oversubscribed raise.
