FUNDRAISING DURING A PANDEMIC

Listen to the Podcast

Fundraising is a near constant, full-time job for scaling companies. During this discussion, we shared insights about the current mindset of investors. We also discussed what makes a company investor-worthy in an uncertain market and if the funder/founder relationship has changed.

Eric Paley, Managing Partner at Founder Collective, and Jessica Kim, Co-founder/CEO of Ianacare led the conversation with great feedback from the entrepreneurs and investors who participated.

Maintaining Morale

Founders drive the spirit of the company.  They inspire their teams, express confidence to investors, and captivate customers.  And, then, the pandemic shutters the office, sends the financial markets into a tailspin and shakes the confidence of customers.  How do you maintain morale with employees, investors, customers and yourself under these conditions? 

Rob Biederman moderated this interactive and engaging discussion. Rob is the co-founder and CEO of Catalant Technologies, the market leader enabling companies to get mission critical work done faster with a customer base that represents more than 30% of the Fortune 100 companies.  He has led the company in raising more than $100 million in funding. 

There was no charge to participate but participation was limited.
