Fundraising is hard, and can be an intimidating and overwhelming process. Wouldn't it be hugely valuable if founders knew in advance what VCs really look for in the companies that they fund, and what insights other founders might be able to share to help you be successful? This session will provide you with real, actionable advice from both sides of the deal table – with tips from a VC who is actively investing and a founder who has successfully raised. Our panel will deep dive into the strategies they employed, the challenges they faced and what VCs look for when founders pitch to them. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A.
