Webinar Overview: Coming up with fundraising ideas for your startup can be an intimidating feat as a first-time founder. Somehow, you’ll have to convince investors that your ideas — and your business acumen — are worth the substantial capital it takes to get to market.

The cycle of pitching can seem endless, especially if all you hear is “no.” Just getting the first deal could take years, especially if you don’t already have the robust network and resources that other founders might have. You’ll then have to decide if the proposed investment deal, whether through angel investors, venture capital or another avenue, would best serve your interests.

Yet, by honing their tactics, many founders finally push past rejection to fundraising and propel their businesses forward. Now, you can use expert fundraising strategies to understand the lessons they had to learn the hard way.

Join this webinar to learn best practices for startup fundraising and how one CEO built a strategy for success.
