Capital in Chaos - How Founders & Investors Navigate Uncertain Markets 🌪️

​Nobody starts a company hoping to raise funding during a global economic storm.

​Yet here we are.

​Wars, geopolitical tensions, rising interest rates, and tighter capital markets have reshaped the startup landscape. The old fundraising playbook doesn’t work the same anymore.

​Some investors are pulling back.

​Others are writing checks faster than ever.

​So what is actually happening inside the minds of investors when the world becomes unstable?

​Whether you're building your first MVP and raising your first round, or scaling toward Series A and beyond, where capital gets more selective and expectations get higher, this session will help you see how the game really works.

​What You'll Walk Away With:

​🔥 A clear understanding of how early-stage and later-stage investing works
🧠 How investors evaluate founders when there is little data
