In the first 4 parts of this event series, we covered all of the fundraising essentials – from building partnerships with investors and crafting a winning pitch. However, there’s more to fundraising than networking and pitch decks. Behind every fundraise there’s planning, modeling, and administration to secure that funding.

In this event, Natasha Arora, Senior Director of Business Development at Carta, Ritish Patnaik, CEO and Co-Founder of Curve Biosciences, Tim Hance, Founder of Hance Fractional Counsel, PC, and William Buckstaff, Business Development Manager at Carta, share:

• How to model your SAFEs: Understand how SAFEs convert during a priced round to help you maintain ownership and make informed decisions

• Collaborate efficiently with your law firm: Discover strategies for working with your legal team to streamline the process and potentially save thousands of dollars

• Navigate the priced round: Get an inside look at what happens after you receive your term sheet and how to manage the transition into a priced round effectively.

• Close your round on time: Learn proactive steps to ensure timely closure of your round while maintaining a strong relationship with your investors.

This bonus event is the conclusion of our Startup Fundraising 101 series, we hope that through this series, you were able to deepen your understanding of the fundraising process and optimize your approach to securing the funding you need.
