Are you ready for insight of real-world scenarios about fundraising? Then join this workshop presented by entrepreneur, founder and investor Mathieu Goudot of Masters of Scale. This masterclass is not intended to tell you what to do, but to share real anecdotes and examples from real situations encountered by Mathieu across his 10 years as a founder that raised money successfully (and unsuccessfully) and 1 year as a member of the board of investors of a European space startup accelerator. Registration is open.
Masterclass on fundraising for startups
If you already have a basic understanding of the mechanics of fundraising, you will gain a great deal through the honest and open discussion with the presenter. During the event, you will hear about practical and (sometimes) anonymised stories about:
- How to resuscitate a stalled fundraise process? How to navigate VC’s never committing to lead a round?
- How to generate FOMO (fear of missing out) and to take the lead in your raising process?
- How to start fundraising with only 2 months of runway?
- What are the most common mistakes I made fundraising that costed me top-tier VC’s relationships?
- How did I manage to oversubscribe a $1M round and turn it into a $5M round?
- How to adapt your pitch to your investor audience every time?
- The difference between startups and investors in Europe and the US
- How to sound like a tech company when you’re a space startup, to max out valuation multiples
- Investing in space companies in Europe: what is appealing and isn’t today for space VCs vs generalist VCs?
Join the event to learn from real-life experiences and get tips about fundraising that can be applied to your own startup.
