How to Raise Capital Without Losing Control

As a new start-up it's all about mastering the art of securing investments to make your dreams a reality and use outside capital to grow.

95% of startups that seek VC funding fail to raise a single dollar. The difference? They don't understand how investors actually think. This changes March 12th.

Join us for an exclusive in-person experience designed to help entrepreneurs, founders, and business owners understand how to attract investors, structure equity deals, and confidently raise capital from Venture Capitalists and private investors.

This event will break down the real-world process of equity financing, what VCs look for, how deals are structured, common mistakes founders make, and how to position your business to get funded.
