Entrepreneurs often express that raising capital is like a second full-time job. It is a demanding process and will vary with the investors you have involved. There are many challenges and pitfalls when dealing with individual angel investors but they can also be some of the most rewarding investors in experience, guidance and availability.
This session will cover market observations and entrepreneurs' experiences in moving their investors through the pipeline to closing. We will review some market beliefs and address some lessons learned. This will be an open q&a session as we cover different stages from due diligence to funding.
