/ About this event

A strong idea and polished pitch are no longer enough to secure funding. Investors are becoming more selective, expectations are shifting, and the signals that make a company stand out can change quickly. For founders preparing to raise, understanding what investors value before entering the market can make all the difference.

Join fellow founders for breakfast and a candid look at what’s getting funded now, what investors expect from early-stage companies, and the traction, team and market signals that capture their attention. You’ll leave with a clearer view of how to position your company, strengthen your fundraising story and approach your next raise with greater confidence.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
