State of Early Stage Startup Funding
On Wednesday, March 27th, join us at Free Agency HQ in NYC for a fireside chat between Jenny Fielding (Managing Partner at Everywhere Ventures) and Sherveen Mashayekhi (Co-founder & CEO at Free Agency) about the realities facing early stage founders today: what is the funding environment like today for pre-seed and seed stage startups?
This is a free event for existing founders, soon-to-be-founders, and venture capitalists looking to better understand the metrics, stories, themes, and trends beyond the AI hype rounds we see every day on Twitter. Doors open at 6:00pm ET. The event will begin promptly at 6:15pm and end at 7:20pm. Be there on time or early!
We'll talk:
The latest in valuations, funding amounts, and structure going into early stage deals
The reality behind building an early stage team in this new startup + tech environment
The changing landscape of early stage money, from angels to accelerators to institutional funds & beyond
And all of this with a dose of honesty, transparency, and behind the scenes that you'll only get with Jenny & Sherveen -- IYKYK!
