Raising a Series A is a huge accomplishment and closing it might feel like you've crossed the finish line but the pressure only goes up from here. You’ve convinced investors you’re ready to scale and now it’s time to execute. But how? In this session, Carlos Garcia (CEO of HYP3R) and Daniel Gulati (Partner at Comcast Ventures) sit down with Structure Capital's Jillian Manus for an honest, unflinching look at what comes after the Series A.
In this session, we'll explore:
What does it take to successfully raise a Series A round?
What are the biggest challenges that startups face as they scale and how can CEOs navigate this transition successfully?
Why do startups fail after the Series A and what can we learn from their missteps?
What are the milestones that founders need to reach before they're ready for a Series B round?
