What I Wish I’d Known Before Fundraising

In-Person

What I Wish I’d Known Before Fundraising

Raising venture capital seems like the critical first step in building a successful startup. But is it always necessary?

Raising venture capital seems like the first, critical step towards building a successful startup. But is it necessary? And what do you learn AFTER you raise venture capital, that you wish you'd known BEFORE? We're bringing together a panel of startup founders who have all played the venture capital game - and share advice they wish someone had shared with them before raising.

ABOUT THE PANELIST

Steve Travaglini, founder at Winrate (former CRO at LinkSquares)

AJ Richichi, founder at Sprockets

Palash Soni, founder of Goldcast (HBS alum)

Moderators: Rob Snyder and Phil Green
