A practical session for early stage founders preparing to raise their first angel round.
I’ll share lessons from both sides of the table as a founder, angel investor, and startup advisor, covering:
* What investors actually look for
* When you’re ready to raise
* Valuation and dilution
* How to approach investors
* Common fundraising mistakes and red flags
* What really happens behind the scenes before the check
The session will be practical, story driven, and based on real startup experiences, with clear takeaways founders can use immediately.
