THIS IS A PAID EVENT - PURCHASE YOUR TICKET IN THE LINK BELOW
Co-founder and CEO Russ Heddleston and his team at DocSend got 15k CEOs to participate in fundraising research. After analyzing thousands of pitch decks and doing a deep dive into the data of fundraising, they found how early-stage founders can be most successful in today’s startup climate.
He'll show you everything you need to be successful - from how long investors spend reading your deck, the pages they stay on the longest, and what sparks an investor to contact the founder. Gain best practices on how to prospect the right investors, at the right time, with a well-thought-out fundraising narrative and pitch deck that tells your story in a concise and effective manner. Russ will also touch on what fundraising looks like right now amidst a global pandemic and how mentorship can be really helpful for fundraising.
