In this week’s Quick Coffee we are talking about the fundamental principles of fundraising. When is a good time to start a fundraising process? Who are the ideal investors? Why is it crucial to fully understand the end to end fundraising process before starting conversations with investors? We are super excited about this episode, and are sharing some of our most valuable lessons that we have learned over the past few years. You’ll find everything about the interaction with investors all the way down to closing your first funding round. As always let us know what you think and we are looking forward to receiving your feedback and thoughts.
