840 Chelsey Roney: How to Get Funding
Plus the Future of Interactive Mapping Technology
What does it take to close a funding round for your business?
Take it from me, a lot.
With my fifth business Podopolo now finally about to close its first venture capital round, I know first-hand how many pitches it takes, how many rejections you get, how long it can take between getting a term sheet and seeing the money land in the bank.
For most women, venture capital is a whole new world, and if you’re not already in that world, it can be hard to navigate. It runs on existing relationships, so the first step is cultivating them.
Chelsey Roney, the co-founder and COO of Proxi, found a path to funding through the accelerator TechStars, and shares today what it took to get her $1.2 million seed round in the bank, and what’s next for her collaborative mapping software startup.
- How to pitch your startup to investors
- Why successful fundraising is all about developing relationships with investors
- Why innovation at startups always outpaces the big giants
- How to scale your business
- The future of interactive mapping technology
- And much more
