Founder Psychology while Fundraising: How to master your emotions and win investors.
Who is this for?
All founders actively raising or looking to raise soon.
What is this about?
Raising money? Fundraising doesn’t just test your pitch. It tests your nervous system. We’ve been there.
Having coached hundreds of founders through the mental chaos of fundraising, Till and Yannick will share battle-tested advice to help you stay calm, confident and emotionally steady when the stakes are high. Marco from Clima Now will offer his perspective on how founders can leverage their investors - and why both parties should build deeper, genuine connections.
We will talk about:
Why fundraising is emotionally difficult and what to expect
Mental models to stay steady under pressure
How to bounce back from rejection (because it’s coming)
