How to Raise (and How Not to Raise) Capital from Investors

Fundraising from investors – the bottom line, how do you approach it? How does the entire process work? How do you find investors?!? What are you expected to present in a pitch, and what is considered good? How long does fundraising take? What are the most common mistakes that trip up founders? I will answer all of these questions, and more, in this webinar. The webinar will focus on three main topics: 1. What the fundraising process looks like from start to finish in general, with specific details regarding PRE-SEED, SEED, Series A, and Series B rounds 2. The most common mistakes made when approaching investors, why they are mistakes, and what to do instead 3. How to properly prepare before starting a fundraising round and improve your chances Agenda: --- 09:00 - 09:02 Gathering and good morning everyone :) 09:02 - 12:00 Detailed lecture with Q&A throughout Language: --- The webinar will be conducted in Hebrew About the speaker: --- Hi, nice to meet you, my name is Yair, and I'm a business consultant who has been working with startups and high-tech companies for over a decade, with 26 years of international business experience.
