Why you should take this workshop
So you’ve built a dynamic company and now you need outside capital to accelerate your growth? We’ve got you covered. While female founders’ share of VC funding shrank to 2.3% in 2020 (vs. 2.8% in 2019), we want you to be a part of improving that statistic. Raising venture capital is a sales strategy and you'll need the best tools at your disposal to help you raise your round. Join IFundWomen and Lizelle Van Vuuren, Co-founder and CMO of Undock, to learn how to master the cold call and garner interest in your raise. Lizelle is a serial startup founder and experienced at raising money from crowdfunding to venture capital, most recently closing $1.6MM in venture funding from Lightship Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Lerer Hippeau & more. We will dive into how to do investor research, how to master warm and cold email introductions, and how to use the power of Undock to manage your fundraising process.
