ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
How You Align Valuation Growth and Fundraising
A successful tech startup has to raise capital through many rounds and sources over a period of many years. Typically a tech venture needs at least four rounds of financing before exit. This session explores the mix of financial planning and market execution milestones that lead to successful navigation of this journey to exit.
Every entrepreneur that raises capital is often faced with a simple series of questions: how much are you raising? What will you use those funds for? When will you need more capital? How much will you increase valuation before that next round?
Like a product roadmap shows us how the product evolves with feature additions over time, a financial roadmap shows how key growth milestones contribute to valuation growth while triggering capital raises.
Understanding this process will help an entrepreneur to better understand the investor perspective and better position their startup before each capital raise.
