In this talk, we will cover a practical toolkit for orchestrating a seed raise. Specifically, we will cover the nuts and bolts around key elements for fundraising preparation, outreach, meeting effectiveness, and closing. Time permitting, we may dive into themes around the psychology and strategy for successful fundraises. These lessons are gleaned from over a decade of experience of founders completing fundraises through Alchemist, a leading enterprise accelerator. Alchemist has launched over 600 startups that have collectively raised $3.6B, or roughly $6 million / startup on average.
