All this month we’ve been exploring how startup fundraising is changing and why it’s going to continue to change in 2018.
We started off by talking about why you don’t want to reach out to an investor when you just have an idea, how to evaluate if seeking investment make sense for your business, and in the last episode why no matter how great your idea or business is you’re still going to receive a lot of NOs.
After what might seem like endless reality checks, I’ve saved the best episode for last: we’re going to be talking about what it’s going to take to get your first check from an investor 😉
