Description
Raising money seems really easy when you're reading Techcrunch. Then you go out and try to do it and all of a sudden it seems impossible. Especially when you're new to the startup world and know no one.That's exactly what it was like when Aman, the founder/CEO of Procurify, raised his first round. He describes in vivid details how he flew to San Francisco, slept on the floor of a shared house, cold emailed Mark Cuban and got him to invest. The series of events in this episode are extremely unlikely. They are hard to believe. But they are real. The reality is that early rounds raised by first-time founders often look like pure luck or serendipity. But you'll notice the hustle, the networking, and the determination that creates these "happy accidents". If you're about to try to raise a pre-seed or seed round, you'll want to check this out.
