Raising money for a startup is a complex, challenging process with many options and pitfalls. Funding options include:

convertible debt
seed preferred
SAFE
Series A
venture debt
friends
angels
super angels
accelerators
micro VCs
crowd funding
corporate venture capital
traditional venture capital

and more....

The variety of types and sources of capital have continued to grow, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. The advent of turmoil and volatility in the financial markets in 2016 brings additional uncertainty and potential major disruption in the capital raising process.

Veteran Silicon Valley corporate attorney Todd Rumberger will provide an overview of this fundraising morass and insight into how to make the best choice for success.

Please come with your questions and scenarios.
