How Iterative Prepares Startups for Fundraising
What You’ll Learn
Iterative is hosting an online event to make fundraising less intimidating and more effective for founders. During this event, Hsu Ken, Managing Partner at Iterative, will share Iterative’s fundraising philosophy and how this can help you improve your pitch and close your next round.
Companies that have gone through our batch program have raised over $160M. During the program, we run a fundraising bootcamp, and it seems to be effective. We want to make this information more accessible to more startups.
Join our event to learn about Iterative’s fundraising fundamentals, including:
Story and Traction – Whether it’s more important to have strong traction or a great story and how to do both.
Understand Venture Capital – The inside story of how venture capital works so you can pitch them better.
Creating Investor FOMO – Learn how to create investor fear of missing out by fundraising in parallel rather than serially.
Pitch Structure – Learn the pitch structure that we teach all of our companies and why it’s so effective.
Attendees will receive a fundraising reference guide after the event and the opportunity to fast-track their Summer 2023 batch application if they are interested in applying.
Format
For the first 45 minutes, Hsu Ken will talk about Iterative's fundraising philosophy and the fundraising playbook it teaches its startups. The remaining 15 minutes will be Q&A where Hsu Ken will field questions from the audience.
