Replay: Edu - Fundraising Basics Part 1 - How To Find The Smart Money

Planning on fundraising in the next 6-18 months? 

Interested in the inner-workings of startup fundraising? 

This episode is a MUST listen for you!

After the success of our previous episode replay we’ve gone into the vault and polished another one of our most popular episodes.

This week we’re rediscovering the symbiosis that exists between startup founders and venture capitalists and that at its core, this relationship is what makes the startup business model possible. When the relationship works, billion-dollar, hockey-stick curved, Silicon Valley-style startups are born. But when it goes badly, the results are catastrophic.

Listen to this episode to get educated on how it all works and how to dance the dance.

This episode Chris and Yaniv dive into:

• Different investing stages: Seed vs Series A etc.

• Aside: Non-dilutive capital

• What investors look for: Defensible moats and more

• Selling the big picture vs. existing traction
