How to Raise Seed Funding for Your Startup Idea - and are you ready?

This special event will be led by Adeo Ressi, Founder & CEO of the Founder Institute, 9X Entrepreneur, and angel investor. Don't miss this opportunity to get help on your startup ideas from a global expert on startups and venture capital!

Most startup financings happen when you find a “lead investor”, negotiate a term sheet, and recruit follow-on investors to contribute money to the deal. But the first step – finding a “lead” – is where most startups fail to make any progress.

At this special event, Adeo Ressi (9X entrepreneur, investor, and CEO of the Founder Institute) will travel from Silicon Valley to teach you a step-by-step process to find a "Lead Investor" - and also listen to your startup ideas and give you feedback. Don't miss this opportunity to learn and get feedback from a world-renowned startup expert!
