Founder Series | Raising feels weird right now. How much should i actually raise?
Event Description: Fundraising looks different than it used to, and many founders are unsure how to navigate it.
In this session, we’ll talk about:
How much to raise (and why)
Timing, pacing, and expectations
What “enough” really means at this stage
This is a practical, open conversation not advice from a slide deck.
This is for you if:
You’re thinking about a seed round
You’re unsure how to size it
You want to make intentional decisions, not reactive ones
About this space: Our sessions are intentionally not recorded so people can speak honestly.
You’re welcome to share general lessons or insights you take away on social but please don’t attribute comments or stories to specific people.
Participation looks different for everyone:
You’re welcome to speak, ask questions in chat, or just listen
Cameras are optional
Listening counts as participating
This is a global space. Different accents, levels of English, time zones, and startup contexts are all expected here.
These conversations help shape future resources (writing, courses, tools) - the goal is to reflect what founders are actually experiencing, not what startup media says you should be experiencing.
If you’re dealing with this right now, showing up live really does matter.
