Get the inside scoop on VC thinking with Investor Michael Skok.
Join serial founder and investor Michael Skok—who has helped build and scale many unicorn companies—for a highly interactive, in-person workshop on fundraising from venture capitalists. Drawing from decades of experience, Michael will break down how investors think, what they look for in early teams, and how to craft a compelling fundraising narrative.
Expect an active session with real examples, discussion, and practical guidance you can apply immediately. This workshop is ideal for founders preparing to raise capital or seeking a clearer path into the VC landscape.
Note that storytelling is a key part of a successful investor pitch. You may also want to attend Part 1: Storytelling the week before to get a head start and ensure your pitch has a compelling narrative woven throughout.
