ESSENTIAL INSIGHTS INTO SUCCESSFULLY FINANCING YOUR ‘BIG’ IDEA
Topic: When it comes to funding, everyone agrees the Bay Area is the place to be. That said many questions often remain: how does it work? Who should I turn to for advice? Is a VC the way to go for my company? What risks to I encounter?
While the ranks of women entrepreneurs continue to grow, less than 10% of startups led by women successfully receive any VC funding.
The SF International Women Entrepreneur Forum has put together an outstanding panel of advisors, entrepreneurs and investors to share their insights on how to achieve success.
Topics covered include:
- Identifying the best funding option for your company
- Targeting VCs and Angels
- How to successfully work your network
- Tapping into the psychology of investors
- Preparing for your pitch
- How to keep going until you hear a “yes!”
- What next……
- And more!
