How I Raised My Series A is a gathering centered around open discussion regarding best practices for raising a Series A round. Every other month, we invite two or three founders who have successfully raised a round in the past few months and foster an open dialogue around what worked and what didn't.
This is an in-person event in New York City that will not be streamed, so we look forward to seeing you there.
