You’ve seen the tweets, you’ve listened to the podcasts, but you still can’t quite tell what’s going on in the seed and Series A startup market, right? Join us as we explore the nuances of startup financing in 2023 with John Frankel, a seasoned early-stage VC and Founding Partner of ff Venture Capital.
John worked in capital markets at Goldman Sachs for 21 years before founding ffVC in 2008. Since, ffVC has invested in the likes of Cornerstone OnDemand, Movable Ink, Plated, Addepar, Indiegogo, & Contently.
The topics –
What’s really going on with early stage venture capital behind the scenes?
Are firms in as much trouble as it seems, and who is best positioned to emerge on top in the inevitable market return?
How should founders view the 2023 funding market? What’s the threshold for raising today, and what are good and bad reasons to wait things out?
What’re the lessons from startup cycles of the past that haven’t yet been tweeted – how should founders and investors adjust in ways that they haven’t quite yet, and what are ways in which they should stay steadfast?
We’ll cover that and so much more. John will be in conversation with Free Agency founder & CEO, Sherveen Mashayekhi.
When: Wednesday, July 26, 2023, 7:00-9:00 pm EST
Where: Free Agency HQ, 16 W 22nd Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10010
