As founders, you're building the future. Ideas deemed crazy today paired with your focus and your team's quality of execution might become our reality in a few years' time.
Compiled by Miruna Girtu, SyndicateRoom's Strategic Partnerships Manager and head of SR Connect, The Art of Fundraising aims to help guide entrepreneurs through the often perilous road of raising early-stage funding. By drawing on the expertise of dozens of Business Angels, VCs, Family Offices and Corporates, we hope to help you think clearly and critically about where you are at this moment in time and what you need to get to where you want.
If you're raising funds in the near future, you can quickly go through the chapters and practise articulating answers to the questions you find most relevant. Alternatively, if you're just starting to build a company, use the guide to put things in perspective.
