Choosing an investor is a long-term decision, not just a financing transaction. The person who invests today may sit on your board, influence future rounds, and shape how the company navigates difficult moments for years.

In this practical webinar, Moshe Bellows, Managing Member at Maccabee Ventures, will show founders how to diligence investors and funds before taking their money.

We’ll cover:

• How to assess a fund’s size, lifecycle, dry powder, decision process, and follow-on capacity
• How to understand a partner’s real influence, bandwidth, and behavior with portfolio companies
• How to run independent reference checks, including with founders whose companies struggled
• Which warning signs to identify before signing a term sheet

Who is it for?

Founders preparing to raise capital, comparing investors, or deciding who they want alongside them for the long term.
