200 Investor Meetings in 6 Weeks: Inside Primitive Labs Seed Round

​In September, Primitive Labs started planning its seed round. Nine weeks later, the team had taken 200+ investor meetings and closed a round that was 4x oversubscribed.

​Join us for a conversation with Rohit Talluri, Co-Founder & CEO of Primitive Labs. Primitive Labs an a16z speedrun company building AI that models how customers behave across software. Rohit managed his whole round on Metal, from building his investor list to working through 200+ meetings to the close. In this session, we focus on the following:

• ​The 200-Meeting Process: how Rohit built his investor list, got in the room, and kept 200+ conversations moving in nine weeks;

• ​Inside the Raise: a live walkthrough of the Metal workspace Rohit used to run the round, from first outreach to close;

• ​Getting to 4x Oversubscribed: what built momentum, what slowed it down, and what he’d do differently next time.

​There’ll be time for Q&A at the end. Most useful for founders preparing to raise in the next 6 months, and anyone curious about what an efficient fundraising process looks like in practice.
