How to Get Good at Fundraising

10

April

4:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Seattle
Jordan Tigani

In April 2022 I didn't know anything about starting a company; when and how to raise, who to raise from, and how much to ask for. Fifteen months later I had raised $100M over three rounds of funding. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but also ended up in a pretty good spot for the company. This talk will share what I learned along the way from talking to other founders about their experience, doing hundreds of calls with VCs, and sheer necessity and dumb luck.

90% of Startup Fail, Don't be One of Them!

05

June

5:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Seattle
David Hersh

Startups don't fail from the reasons we are led to believe. It's the mindsets underneath those reasons where companies go astray. And it could be avoided with awareness, focus, and grit. Drawing on a litany of stories and research into the external and internal conditions for breakthrough success, Dave Hersh will illuminate the unseen and unspoken hurdles that prevent you from being in the elite 10 percent.

Where experienced founders go to up their game

I enjoyed how well planned and executed the event was. Court’s presentation was relevant and actionable

Steve Tout

founder, Identient

I really loved how welcoming the vibe felt from the moment I arrived.

Katrina Romatowski

founder, reSpace

It was awesome

Edan Shahar

founder, Wild Zebra

The event was great! Highlight: Encouragement of diverse viewpoints and good founder mix

Darian Parrish

founder PwrOn

I think the breakout sessions are a loose but useful way to get people talking about challenges and resolutions.

Mark Fiebig

founder, Payscore

I was initially hesitant to join yet another group as there is no shortage of people claiming to help entrepreneurs, but Court Lorenzini and FounderNexus are the real deal. Any serious founder will benefit immensely from joining FounderNexus.

Jasper Kuria

co-founder, ConversionMagic

Great event, I learned a lot! Looking forward to next one

Shama Keskar

founder, Mudita Studios

FounderNexus fills a gap for entrepreneurs by complementing traditional incubator and early investment programs with a high-quality peer founder network.

Bob Lach

founder, Lightbridge Solutions

I also felt a sense of real community for the first time as a founder. You're all onto something special here!

Elias DeFaria

co-founder, SDF Labs

This was a fast track to relevant experience/advice in a room where you hold nothing back.

Nicole Resch

Co-founder, Imperative

I have attended events nationwide and joined so-called “MasterMind” groups, but nothing comes close to the network and support I have experienced at FounderNexus.

Arthur Baranovskiy
