Venture Capital Reality Check

Building early-stage startups is HARD, huh?

We are 3 days from Adam Draper joining us for a private invite-only conversation for top CEOs and Founders. I really hope you can attend. And, I really hope this helps you with your fundraise, and above and beyond with your overall CEO mindset while operating at the early stage,

Coinbase, Amplify, PlanGrid, Sendwave, and Benchling all raised $100M's and grew to $1B+. I hope yours is the next one.

Special Guest, Adam Draper

Adam is a 4th generation venture capitalist. His family pioneered the asset class, and he's one of the globes greatest investors.

Emcee, Don Stein

Don's last startup raised $5M in seed funding from General Catalyst and other top VCs. He's now the founder of Ugly Startups..

What to expect: You can expect to show up and listen to 3 stories from Adam about the importance of the 'cockroach mindset and how he's seen great founders use this to go on and raise $100M's. More importantly, we'll also be bringing you up from the audience to live speed-pitch Adam, or, just ask him a questions directly.
