The real deal

As a founder seeking capital this show placed me center stage in the seats of both those pitching and VCs. The show is personal and real - you’ll learn the questions that are asked of founders and experience the thought process of VCs. Raising money is hard, this show brought me one step closer to understanding how to be successful.
