What does it actually take to raise money for a startup? In Education Series #5, we walk through the fundraising process from start to finish and hear from guest speaker.

We’ll cover how to prepare, from the pitch deck and financial model to the data room investors will ask to see, and how to build a target list of investors that fit your stage and sector. Then we’ll follow a raise through first meetings, follow-up diligence, and partner meetings, and finish with the term sheet and closing, including the key terms worth negotiating and what happens between signing and the money arriving. We’ll even walk through the timeline of a real raise.

Whether you’re building a startup or want to see how a raise looks from both sides of the table, come with questions. All are welcome!
