Episode 4 of our #StartupStories series with members of the NYTM community (“The Money”) debuted at last night’s meetup. In it, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists take you inside the fundraising process, answering key questions: Do you need to raise capital? If you do, how do you convince angel investors and VCs to give it to you? And if they offer you money, how much should you take? (You’d be surprised how many say that more is not always better … and that sometimes, money isn’t the best thing an investor brings to a partnership.) Insight comes from OKCupid, Of A Kind, Artsicle, Warby Parker, Union Square Ventures, TechStars, Birchbox and betawors. Produced by HD MADE. See the whole series here.
