Reacts: Downturn Fundraising - How to Raise Money in the Current Climate w/Emil Michael & Jessy Wu

It’s no secret that the investment environment has changed quite drastically in the last six months, and for many founders out there it has become much more difficult to raise the needed funds.

We have recently had the privilege of speaking to two incredible investors: Jessy Wu from Afterwork Ventures, and the legendary Emil Michael, former Chief Business Officer of Uber.

In this bonus episode, we asked each of them for their advice to founders on how to navigate the current fundraising environment.
