Given the series of Unicorns established in recent times, every founder is lured by the start-up dream. However, those in the market understand how and why valuing their start-up ventures is notoriously hard. Further, the primary dilemma that founders find themselves in is deciding upon the right amount to raise and when—
- Raise too much money, and risk over-diluting yourself
- Raise too little, and risk having too few resources to scale to the next level.
Nonetheless, the ask is how to — find the fundraising sweet spot for YOUR start-up; attract venture capital for YOUR business; aligning your vision with the vision of the investors.
Avener Capital’s masterclass in association with VCCircle, will equip start-ups on aspects of valuation and fundraising. This exclusive session will create a solid understanding of the VC/PE ecosystem and the latest trends thereof; understand the intricacies of the perfect term sheet, and arrive at the optimal quantum and mix of capital raising.
