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 they expecting me to present in the pitch, and what is considered good? How long does fundraising typically take? What are the most common mistakes that cause founders to fail? I will answer all these questions, and more, in this webinar. The webinar will focus on three main topics: 1. What the fundraising process looks like from A to Z 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 you should do instead. 3. How to properly prepare before starting a fundraising round and how to increase your chances of success.
