Join The Alliance for Southern California Innovation and Silicon Valley Bank for an intimate discussion with the investors and operators of the program.
Hear advice directly from VCs that can ultimately help you as a founder with the fundraising process.
Join them Tuesday, October 12 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM via Zoom.
Fundraising is a full-time job on top of running a company. How will you raise the capital you need to catapult your company's growth?
In this panel discussion, experts will walk you through basic requirements a company needs for Series A venture capital investment and when you should start raising for your Series A.
You will also hear directly from VCs on what they look for when deciding to invest in a company, drawing upon their experience working with talented founders.
They'll have time for Q&A after each panel discussion and then 10 minutes at the end for breakout rooms and networking.
