2023 has been a challenging year for startup funding at the later stages, with the angel, pre-seed, and seed funding markets remaining resilient. However, the bar to raise funding is higher than it’s been in several years, with investors focusing more on business fundamentals. On this live online event, Jonathan Greechan (Co-Founder & CEO of the Founder Institute) will share his insights on what idea-stage and pre-seed startups can expect in 2024, how to prepare, and the steps needed to successfully raise funding. There will also be a short Q&A period to answer audience questions.
