FUNDRAISING SPRINT
A two-day executive workshop which aims at aligning and bootstrapping a fundraising initiative.
In the case of a company with multiple founders and key investors, such a workshop can be crucial in aligning the interests of founders with those of current and future investors. Indeed, there might be misalignments among stakeholders regarding dilution considerations, growth acceleration expectations, governance issues, and potential exit scenarios along with their respective timelines.
