Founders & startup-curious folk: come say hi in person during SF Tech Week!
Thursday, Oct 10 from 7-9pm in SOMA (full address on RSVP).
I'll be doing a talk breaking down the current state of early-stage fundraising for AI and SaaS companies. We'll cover:
Valuations
Round sizes
SAFE valuation cap dynamics
The AI valuation premium
Fundraising timelines
Dilution
Team sizes
Your questions!
Looks like ~300 or so of your closest founder friends are already registered, so be sure to get on the list yourself! Give me a shout in the comments for the RSVP page.
Appreciate Inkle and Anand Krishna for kindly letting me bore their wonderful audience with my facts and figures 😁
