Raising capital is about more than a great idea, it’s about telling a clear financial story, knowing your numbers, and showing investors you’re building a business that can scale.
In this TIGER Talk, Michelle Murcia of Book+Street will break down what investors actually look for before they write a check:
- a strong model
- realistic forecasts
- clean operations
- a thoughtful cap table
- a team that can execute
Michelle will cover how founders can prepare for the fundraising process, avoid common blind spots, and build the finance, people, and systems infrastructure that gives investors confidence. Whether you’re raising your first round or gearing up for what’s next, we’ve got your back.
