How to raise venture capital for your startup without giving up control of your company
January 20 • 8 AM (PST)

3 Little Known Things ABOUT RAISING A ROUND THAT EVERY FOUNDER NEEDS TO KNOW:
You will learn:
How to prepare yourself for financing—so you gain leverage and close on your terms.
Why the term sheet doesn’t tell the whole story—and which hidden terms can dramatically impact your control and outcome.
Why giving up a board seat isn’t the same as giving up control—and how to structure governance to protect your role as founder.
This session is for you if:
You’re an engineer-founder or product builder moving fast—but still unclear on the full roadmap to build a fundable startup.
You’re worried that after all the work of building your product, your investors could take it out from under you.
You’re navigating your first raise with venture capitalists—and need to know what to watch for before you sign anything.
What you’ll leave with
A sharper understanding of term sheet dynamics
Confidence around board structure and decision rights
