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

Fundraising from investors – the bottom line, how do you actually approach it? How does the entire process work? How do you find investors?!? What are you expected to present in your 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 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 to increase your chances of success.
