    Startup Fundraising with Chris Robson, CEO & Co-founder at Wyvern

    We had a chance to sit down with our friend Chris Robson for a deep dive into startup fundraising. Chris is the CEO & Co-founder at Edmonton based Wyvern, a space data company enabling next-generation earth observation using hyper-spectral cameras. If you're an entrepreneur thinking about that first raise, be sure to listen in as Chris shares some of his learnings after successfully raising $17.M in capital from some of North America's top seed investors including MaC Venture Capital, Uncork Capital, Y-Combinator, and Soma Capital. We were fortunate enough to participate in Wyvern's early rounds of financing through our angel syndicate Red Thread Ventures and our venture capital firm Weave VC and have been amazed at their progress over the past few years!
