Join us for our next Lunch and Learn with ETW Advisors!
About ETW Advisors:
Raising startup capital requires an enormous amount of energy. While most entrepreneurs believe their startups are worthy, the opposite generally is true. 1 out of 100 startups successfully raise institutional capital, and a healthy percentage of those still fail(though the failure rate is far lower than conventional wisdom would suggest).At ETW Advisors, we have spent the last 3 years advising on more than 25 fundraises totaling north of $100M. Each time, our first-time founders consistently are surprised by the unpredictability and difficulty of raising capital. Take heart, there is a process and a methodology that works for ETW. We’ll share those with you but, most importantly, we want to transform your attitude towards fundraising - “Stop F#$@%#% Begging!”
About Anu Nigam:
Ever since Anu joined his first startup in 1996, he has enjoyed working with small, driven teams, helping to transform cutting edge technologies into real businesses. His first two startups revolutionized fiber-optic telecommunications, resulting in two acquisitions(Cerent Corp & Siara Systems) both in the Top 10 Largest VC-Backed M&A Deals of All Time. After the .com crash, Anu shifted his sights to consumer internet and started one of the world’s first social networks, hi5.com, which grew to 60M MAU. When the first smartphone came out, Anu bootstrapped a startup that organically attracted 15M installs.
Beyond his life as an operator, he has tried to contribute positively to the startup ecosystem in a variety of ways. Anu has personally invested in more than 50 startups and has served as an advisor to a litany of others. He knows now that the biggest need for an entrepreneur isn’t capital; it’s good advice. So, he joined ETW Advisors, a firm that provides trusted counsel to startup founders as they grow their business from idea to scale.
A startup CEO’s journey is a hard one – it’s unforgiving and unknown. But the folks at ETW have been there before. Their real world experience means that your journey doesn’t have to be a lonely one.
