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 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 and how to increase your chances of success.
