AMA: Fundraising Best Practices

​Campfire just raised a $35M Series A from Accel, one of their largest ever — and we’re sharing the tools to help you do the same.

​Join us for a conversation with Accel Partner, John Locke and Campfire CEO and Founder, John Glasgow, to pull back the curtain on how to fundraise efficiently, what makes a compelling pitch, and what both founders and VCs wish the other side knew.

​In true AMA fashion, we’re keeping it unscripted and leaving plenty of time for your questions. Whether you're gearing up for your first round or navigating growth-stage capital, we're excited to get honest, tactical answers from both sides of the table.

​What to expect:

• ​A behind-the-scenes look at Campfire’s $35M Series A

• ​Fundraising do’s and don’ts from both the founder and investor perspective

• ​How to build relationships with VCs before you need them

• ​Live, open Q&A with the audience

​We're here to answer the questions you have. Be sure to pre-submit during registration.
