How and When to Raise Venture Capital: Advice for Founders with Stacklist

RSVP

14

Stacklist presents The Founder Insight Series, a weekly series of panels dedicated to helping early-stage entrepreneurs get tactical lessons, advice and ideas from people who are farther ahead on the path. Each discussion is designed to ensure all attendees gain tools they can implement immediately and strategies they'll use forever.

Raising Venture Capital: How & When

Our panel on March 14th is dedicated to founders who plan to raise early-stage venture money in 2023 ($500k-$5mm). Though funding is always a popular and necessary topic to cover, right now, it's particularly relevant given the state of the markets. We wanted to give founders the opportunity to hear directly from investors about how they're thinking about early-stage investors, and in what ways founders might rethink their fundraising strategies.

12:20 PM – 12:50 PM
Inflection Points for Tools for Thinking
What are the key inflection points that will supercharge Tools for Thinking in the near future? How will new technologies, user metaphors, and funding models change how people build these tools?

Lunch and Networking
2:00 PM – 2:45 PM
The History and Future of Software as Tools for Thinking
Some of the earliest examples of software explored by pioneers like Doug Engelbart, JCR Licklider, Alan Turing, and others were at their core technologies that help magnify, inspect, and spread our ideas. Jerry Michalski will be sitting down (virtually) with Howard Rheingold, author of Tools for Thought, to explore the history and future of "mind-amplifying technology".

How do ideas - and the human brains that make and hold them - interact?  Get prepared for meta! Esther Dyson and Jerry Michalski, will discuss the idea of how people work together to shape, compare, intertwine and ultimately produce multi-faceted ideas and multi-dimensional idea spaces.  As David Waltz (Thinking Machines) once said, “Words are not in themselves carriers of meaning, but merely pointers to shared understanding.” Watch and lob questions as the two of them try to build and share the idea of how better ideas can be developed through collaboration.
