Series A readiness: getting your startup investor-ready
You've raised your first round, built momentum and proven there's demand for what you're creating. Now you're thinking about Series A. But is your startup actually ready?
Raising a Series A is a different challenge from securing your first investment. Investors will be looking beyond your pitch deck, digging deeper into your company's structure, contracts, governance and legal foundations.
Getting ahead of these questions can make the fundraising process smoother, reduce costly delays and put you in a stronger position when it comes to negotiating terms.
Join Kenzo, Founder of Correm, for a practical session on what founders need to get in order before kicking off their Series A raise.
What we'll cover:
What changes between seed funding and Series A from a legal perspective
What investors look for during legal due diligence
Understanding term sheets, investor rights and common negotiation points
Common legal red flags that can slow down or derail a funding round
How to prepare your business before investors start asking questions
Who should attend?
Seed-funded founders, CEOs and startup leadership teams who have already raised external investment and are preparing to pursue a Series A round.
