Demystifying Venture Capital - Pre-Seed and Seed
By Forge North
Ask a founder what they need and 90% of the time you'll hear "funding." Funding can make or break founders at the earliest stages, especially if they lack access to friends and family with the wealth to get their business off the ground.
Pre-seed and seed investing from groups like Gopher Angels, Tundra Ventures, and Capita3 can help early-stage founders find more time to test and grow their business idea. At this fireside chat, you'll learn what early-stage investors look for from founders, and how your business can prepare to pitch them for capital.
David Russick, Adam Choe, and Sara Russick have led their own early-stage startups, and now they lead organizations that support founders. In this special edition of Demystifying VC that focuses on early-stage businesses, they will share what they want to see from founders as investors.
