How to prepare to raise VC funding

With over 25 years of experience as a startup lawyer, founder and a funder, I know that raising venture capital can be a mystery. 

Having the knowledge of how venture capital works helps you make an informed decision and promotes better alignment between you and your funder.

I've put together this comprehensive video mini-course to walk you through - in plain-English - all the foundational knowledge you need about venture capital.

In the mini-course, I cover:

  • What actually is venture capital – and what do venture capitalists expect?
  • The three major ways to raise venture capital (equity, convertible debt, and convertible equity), along with the advantages and disadvantages of each.
  • How to negotiate the best deal when raising venture capital.
  • How to build, model, and manage a cap table to avoid BIG common mistakes made by founders (including a simple, downloadable cap table tool).
  • How to apply all of this knowledge to build a business that VCs want to invest in.
