Join GAIN & GEA for an upcoming webinar: Early-Stage Fundraising 101: Advice on Raising First Checks with Sam Wils, Director of Accelerator at XRC Ventures

Raising funds for a startup is a challenging and time-consuming process. Even with a great product and a strong team, more often than not founders make critical mistakes that waste their time, drain resources from their startup, and lead them to settle for bad investors. Sam will review the early-stage landscape of Angel Investors, Accelerators, Pre-Seed VCs, and more to ensure that you understand the pros and pitfalls and create a well-thought-out fundraising strategy.

This webinar is hosted by the Georgetown Angel Investor Network and Georgetown Entrepreneurship Alliance.
