The "New Normal" has fundamentally shifted everything in our lives, and for startup founders, the fundraising process has also proven to be an even murkier process to navigate. Combined with the rise in visibility for underrepresented founders (e.g. the “New Majority”) we are approaching a tipping point in which founders secure investment, but how they engage investors and how investors source their deals. Join us in a timely discussion featuring a panel of CEO Founders and investors, including; Martin Martinez (Managing Director of Founder Institute's Texas Chapter); Harold Hughes (CEO and Founder of Bandwagon); Elizabeth Gore (President and Co-Founder of Alice); Anurag Kumar (President at iTexico) and Ashley Connell (CEO and Founder of the Prowess Project) -- as we chart out the new path forward for startup founders to grow their business in these times of great uncertainty.
