🔥🚀 Invitation to Meet Catalin, $15M Series A for his AI startup
|
Hope your week’s been awesome! We've been busy on SKOOL—thrilling convos, buzzing posts, and even an avatar event that took our member networking to *virtually* a whole new level. Scroll down for photos from our event. At the end of the newsletter I’ll share more details on why to RSVP for our Wednesday Conversation where we are thrilled to be joined by Catalin from Ello AI, a founder with multiple exits, sharing his journey of his brand new startup that closed a $15 Million Series-A led by Goodwater Capital. A Journey into the Virtual World:On Wednesday, Feb 5th, we leaped into a new networking dimension. With brilliant support from Jose at Virtway, we harnessed webXR and the 3D web to transform our members into digital avatars, sparking an electric energy as everyone explored our immersive virtual space—connecting, collaborating, and having fun! Experience the magic:​ Other than Tejas stealing my outfit, and Christine stealing my shoe style, it was a 10/10 event :) Get ready to chat with Catalin—an innovator who’s been shaking things up since high school (yes, he built a mobile payments system with Steve Capps!). From pioneering AI-based augmented reality therapy for kids with autism to leading a project using natural language processing to identify racial disparities in the California criminal justice system at Stanford, his journey is as inspiring as it is impressive. Hoping to see you there on Wednesday! -Don Stein Want help raising capital? Join our fundraise accelerator — Apply For Funding​ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donstein/​ |

I work hard for the founders in my community, and I recently spent the last 6 months building a checklist full of videos and templates to boost the chances you can close capital (Angel, Seed, Series A, Crowdfund). I'm going to work with you every Wednesday to help guide you through all these necessary checklist items to fundraise. Where else can you get this level of experience :)!
