Builders Series | Raising Seed
Fundraising is especially strange right now. The old playbooks do not always apply, advice is often contradictory, and many founders begin raising without knowing what actually happens behind the scenes.
Join us for a candid, founder-focused conversation hosted by Amanda “Robby” Robson, founder and solo GP of Modern Technical Fund (https://moderntechnicalfund.com/) in discussion with Lauren Long (Co-Founder of Ampersand) and others!
Robby has spent a decade investing in technical founders at the earliest stages, including working with Drata pre launch. She focuses on helping founders reach product-market fit faster.
Robby will sit down with founders who have recently raised, or are raising now, to discuss:
How to know when you are ready to raise
What investors actually evaluate
How to build momentum and manage a process
Common mistakes that weaken a company’s position
How fundraising decisions affect founders long after the round closes
What has changed in the current market
Just honest experiences, practical advice, and plenty of time for audience questions.
This event is for founders, people considering starting a company, and anyone who wants a clearer understanding of how fundraising really works.
Come with questions. Stay for drinks, conversation, and a room full of people building in AI
