How to Raise Pre-Seed/Seed Startup Funds: Full Day Workshop, Austin, TX

Less than 1% of startup pitches result in funding. While most entrepreneurs over-emphasize pitch decks, smart founders focus on fundability. Fundable companies raise funds faster, easier, at higher valuations and with better terms.

Successful founders follow a proven five-step Prepare, Plan, Execute, Sell, and Close (PPESC) process to efficiently raise Pre-seed and Seed funds for their early-stage startup.

This full-day class dives into important keys to launch a startup, build momentum, and raise early-stage funds, including:

1. Startup roadmap & blueprint
2. Startup formation & equity (cap tables, etc.)
3. Funding strategy
4. Inflection points and funding milestones
5. Product/market fit and idea validation (Lean Startup principles)
6. Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and go-to-market
7. Customer sales and investor fundraising
8. Financial models and projections
9. How to crack the code on startup talent
10. Building a pitch deck
11. Coaching on pitch delivery
12. Navigating the fundraise (engaging investors, term sheets, etc.)

Attendees will learn the basic PPESC process to effectively build a fundable startup and then close Pre-Seed and Seed funding.
