Working with Investors: A Founder's Guide to Tech Startup Funding
This course guides early-stage tech founders through the full arc of startup fundraising — from understanding what investors actually want to closing a deal on terms you understand. You'll work round by round, from pre-seed and seed through Series A, B, and beyond, learning how valuations, term sheets, dilution, and investor relationships evolve at each stage. By the end, you'll be able to build a fundraising strategy, pitch with confidence, and negotiate as an informed partner rather than a hopeful applicant.
