About Asking VCs for Money

I’m Aaron Harris. I was a partner at Y Combinator for 7.5 years and now run Magid and Company. For the last decade, I’ve been obsessed with one question: How do founders fundraise? On Asking VCs for Money, I’ll be talking to founders about…well…asking VCs for money. We’ll talk about what they actually did - the tactics and strategies that led to success - how they met investors, how they prepared their pitches, and how they negotiated term sheets. I’m going to focus on process and particulars here, not grand pronouncements or hacks. I hope you learn something that helps you the next time you fundraise.
