Gain practical tips and investor insights for navigating today's challenging fundraising environment. This recap highlights key takeaways from our September 18th workshop with Spark Capital and SVB, covering essential strategies for successfully raising VC funding.
Workshop takeaways:
- People and product are most compelling, not revenue. Be ready to talk about your team, product and vision in a genuine way.
- For the initial meeting, conversation and the ability to tell your story matters more than a pitch deck.
- Founders should take the time to understand the investor's approach and determine if they are the right fit.
- Consider raising a round, seed or Series A, that will get you funded for 24 months. Have a plan to reach all your key milestones at your startup's stage during those 24 months.
- Investors are looking for founders who are laser-focused on their product and the customer experience.
