In my practice, I often have to clear up quite a few misconceptions when it comes to raising money for a startup. Just like that first sip of a sour ale, learning that you have been thinking, approaching, or handling the fundraising process wrong is a bitter pill to swallow. However, the punch that flavor brings is eye opening. In this discussion we cover those misconceptions; the dos and don’ts when interacting with investors; when founders should conduct a raise; how much money your startup needs; and how all founders need to keep their feet on the ground. Grab a drink and enjoy. Cheers!
