Description
Venture capital has many forms and can be accessible to the entrepreneur by use of strategy and data science. The platforms that exist today and those that will be a part future allow access venture capital firms and professionals like never before. My goal will be to break down the metrics and break into the networks needed to raise the money for your startup or existing business to grow and scale. We will cover what the fundraising ask needs to include for your request to be taken seriously by those with the money to lend or invest. How to negotiate the best deal for you and your investor partners. When and how to close the deal and set up the next three raises.
