Are you thinking abot raising money for your startup? Are you not sure what the advantages are either way?
The first time we raised money for a startup, we relied on advice from experienced entrepreneurs who had been there before to be a resource. Yes, as they said, it took much, much longer than we expected and was much more complicated.
If you are in these shoes, check out next week's Entrepreneurs Unpluggd. It's the event I wish we had years ago. You'll hear candid advice from:
-Sonali Lamba, CEO and cofounder of BrideSide.me, who recently completed the DreamIt Ventures program and is raising her A round.
-Uzi Shmilovici, CEO and cofounder of Base CRM, who raised $1.1 million in his A round and recently raised $6.8 million from investors across the US for his B round.
-Troy Henikoff, Managing Director of TechStars Chicago, who helped alums of the program raise over $25 million in the last three years. He was also cofounder of SurePayroll, one of the nation's leading payroll providers.
These three awesome entrepreneurs will be sharing their experiences and asking your questions next Tuesday April 16th at the Chopin Theater. Use discount code "BuiltinChicago" for $5 off tickets.
