You've seen the stories: A founder has decent traction, a solid product, great experience, and they still can't close their fundraising round. Maybe you ARE that founder who's done everything "right" yet you still can't close. So, what does it actually take to get investors to say 'yes'? Misti Cain, investor, former Managing Director for Techstars, and Head of Partnerships & Platform for Mighty Capital, will share the five hidden reasons your fundraising efforts are failing (hint: it's not the time of year, your deck, or your traction). Learn what it truly takes to turn investor interest into term sheets. Speakers: Misti Cain Presented by Misti Cain, Investor
