Produced by Foundersuite.com, "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders who have raised capital.
This episode is with Andrew Parker of Papa (www.joinpapa.com), an elderly care management platform that connects college students to senior citizens - aka "grandkids on demand."
Papa raised capital in Florida before going through Y Combinator. More recently the Company raised $2.4 million of venture funding in a deal led by Initialized Capital Management with participation from Sound Ventures (founded by Ashton Kutcher and Guy Oseary).
In this episode, Andrew talks about the Miami startup scene, tips and "hacks" for getting into Y Combinator, the importance of a time constraint when fundraising, getting the most out of mentors, what to put in your investor newsletter, and more.
