LE Founder Bootcamp X 500 Global

​Dear Founders!

​Join us for this Founder Workshop X 500 Global exclusive for Startups & Scaleups in the LEAP East program.

​Fundraising is more than pitching investors - it starts with the preparation and strategic decisions that lead to the first meeting and continues well beyond it. In this session, we'll break down the key phases of a typical early-stage fundraise, including how to prepare for investor outreach, navigate investor conversations, and maintain momentum throughout the process. Founders will leave with a clearer understanding of what investors look for and practical insights they can apply to their own fundraising journey.

​Session Hosted By: Yileen Koh
