How to Get Paul Graham to Invest: YC Founder Workshop @AngelList

​How to Get Paul Graham to Invest: YC Founder Workshop

​He moved from Europe to San Francisco with no network and no insider playbook. Within months got into YC, raised $4.7M in one week, and convinced Paul Graham himself to invest.

​On March 17, he's breaking down exactly how he did it.

​Why come

​If any of these sound familiar, this workshop is for you:

• ​You moved to SF and have no idea how to break into the fundraising scene

• ​You've been pitching but can't figure out what top investors actually want

• ​You've had meetings that went nowhere and you don't know why

• ​You want to learn from someone who went from complete outsider to Paul Graham-backed founder recently, not 10 years ago

​You'll hear the real story: what he did differently, what made PG say yes, what he learned inside YC about fundraising, and the exact framework you can apply to your own raise.
