AI Founders Office Hours
Let’s face it. Fundraising kind of sucks. It’s a necessaryevil and a means to an end: to finance your vision. It’s a lengthy, sometimes frustratingprocess that takes way too much time from actually building your company.
Especially for first time founders with technical backgroundsthe learning curve in fundraising can be very steep. But if done right, preparinga good fundraising strategy can turn out to be an effort worth doing in severalways. Not only will you increase the likelihood of securing an investment fromyour preferred VC (UVC says hello ;-)) but it can also be an invaluable exerciseto reflect on your overall strategy, gather feedback, and improve at sellingyour vision to others. Ultimately, this is one of the key traits of a good CEO –not only when talking to VCs but, much more importantly, when talking topotential customers or top talent you aim to hire.
We at UVC Partners love to partner up with early-stagetechnical founders and want to help you on the fundraising journey for your AIstartup. Therefore, we are happy to launch our AI Office Hours. Think of this asan informal Ask-Me-Anything session on your fundraising strategy. One-on-oneand completely confidential.
