As a current or prospective founder, the ability to manage your captable is one of the most critical skills in building a successful business and maintaining ownership of your IP. The choices range from raising angel & institutional capital, leveraging new models like IndieVC, or identifying non-dilutive capital structures from public funding sources & grants.  First up, Nick Bhardwaj will providers founders insight on raising your first venture capital round. He’ll share actionable insights on term sheets, valuation parameters, negotiating, identifying investor fit & diligence, and review the best tools to optimize your chances of success.
