In this fast-paced, tactical 45-minute session, top venture capitalists will break down exactly what it takes to raise your first institutional round of capital, from building investor conviction to running a tight process and closing with leverage.
You’ll learn:
What VCs look for at pre-seed and seed
How to position your story and traction
The biggest mistakes first-time founders make
How to build momentum and create FOMO
Financial KPIs to becoming a top decile company
What makes investors say “yes” (and what makes them pass)
