About the event
This VC Breakfast Briefing is designed to cut through the noise and provide a direct channel between our founders who are currently raising and leading VCs in VenturePath's VC Network.
The session is highly interactive and driven by the needs of the founders in the room. This is not a panel discussion; it's a working session focused entirely on the live challenges of those seeking investment right now.
For this session, we are joined by Octopus Ventures and will be exploring:
What good looks like
Investor readiness meaning, leading into Series A metrics
Standing out in a competitive market
The narrative beyond the metrics
Managing the fundraising process
Expectation of the process, timeline, best practice
Common pitfalls
Where founders go wrong
Areas of focus/advice for founders
Key takeaways and advice for raising in the next 6 months
