But, it can be hard to separate the celebrations of fundraises, from whether Venture Capital is really right for you as a founder, what it will cost you personally, and what is going to increase your chances of success if you do choose that path.
Who better to help us debunk some of the myths around venture capital, alongside offering incredibly practical advice, than a former founder who has sat on both sides of the table. Zoe Peden was the founder of a VC backed startup, MyChoicePad, and is now a VC, with Ananda Impact Ventures.
In this episode we cover:
- How VC really works- and why more founders need to understand that before raising capital
- How to work out if Venture Capital is the right path for you
- When to start speaking to VCs (hint, it’s potentially a stage earlier than you think)
- What to ask a VC at interview stage, and what you can expect from them after they write the cheque
- Plus much more…
