The tentative agenda for this no-bullshit, 2-hour session is as follows:
Why you shouldn't raise money - The value in bootstrapping, and the realities of fundraising. Fundraising strategy - What is it, and do you have one? The games we play - Real world games, tactics, traps and counter-moves for successful fundraising Our panel will include Sean Ellis, Alex Banayan, and Eric Jackson; three guys who are no stranger to the fundraising hustle, representing the perspectives of founders (Sean and Eric), VC's (Alex), and those who are disrupting the VC game (Eric).
More details to follow, but please RSVP ASAP. Limited seating, and we are sure to pack the house. No BS, just straight up truth.
Cheers.
Shervin
