​How I Raised My Series A is a gathering centered around open discussion regarding best practices for raising a Series A round. Every other month, we invite two or three founders who have successfully raised a round in the past few months and foster an open dialogue around what worked and what didn't.

​This is an in-person event that will not be streamed, so we look forward to seeing you there.

​Panelists:

​James Gallagher, Co-Founder and CEO of GreenLite, leveraging a decade of experience scaling the brick-and-mortar footprint of venture-backed real estate technology companies like Gopuff, Bandit, Good Uncle, and Luxe Valet. He leads a team revolutionizing development in America by streamlining the collaboration between developers, builders, and local regulatory authorities via the GreenLite platform. 

​James began his career in investment banking and served as a Marine Infantry & Intelligence Officer, deploying to Afghanistan. A University of Pennsylvania graduate, James lives in NYC with his wife Madelaine and dog Mattis.

​Lasse Kalkar, Founder and CEO of LiveFlow — an accounting & finance automation startup in New York. Prior to that, Lasse was Head of Growth, Nordics at Revolut, one of the fastest growing fintech companies in Europe. Lasse also enjoys playing soccer and tennis. He lives in New York.

​Jacob Moshenko, CEO of Authzed

​Jake Moshenko has been an innovator in the cloud-native ecosystem for over 15 years. After engineering roles at Amazon and Google, Jake founded Quay, the first private Docker registry, which was acquired by CoreOS.
