Iterative in KL: Overcoming Early Stage Startup Challenges

Iterative is hosting a livestream to help early-stage founders understand what VCs really mean in their feedback to founders. If you’re an early-stage founder who’s speaking to VCs and would like to get the inside scoop on how they’re thinking about your startup, this livestream is for you.

, as he peels back the curtain on how VCs think about early-stage companies and what they mean in their feedback to founders. VCs rarely ever give founders elaborate feedback for various reasons. They’re just too busy, don’t want to damage the relationship with the founding team, or want to wait to see if you have more interest, etc. But this leaves founders confused about what the VCs really mean in their comments to founders, which inhibits them from improving and potentially getting funded. We want to help founders understand what VCs really mean so they can make the necessary adjustments to improve and get funded.
