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.
