How to Raise Money in the Middle of a Pandemic

Produced by Foundersuite (www.foundersuite.com), "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders and investors who have raised capital.

Puttshack most recently raised a $150M senior debt round from BlackRock and Promethean Investments. Previous rounds include a $63M growth equity round and a $40M seed round.
