Raising venture capital is one of the most misunderstood processes in the startup ecosystem.
Many founders build strong products but struggle to understand how investors actually evaluate opportunities, what signals create conviction, and how to structure a fundraising process that leads to real outcomes.
In this session, Angel León (Your First Angel) will break down how venture investors think, how early-stage companies are evaluated, and what founders should do to prepare before raising capital.
The session will feature a curated panel of investors from Angeles Investors, Ghost Angels, Parallel18, Remedy Product Studio, and NEXT powered by Shulman Rogers, creating a dynamic and interactive discussion around how investment decisions are really made. We’ll move beyond theory into real perspectives from active investors, including how they assess opportunities, what drives conviction, and what founders consistently get wrong.
Throughout the session, we’ll open the conversation into a live discussion with the panel—creating space for deeper insights, real-time perspectives, and direct engagement around fundraising strategy, narrative, and positioning.
This event is designed for founders planning to raise capital in the next 6–18 months and looking to gain a clearer, more practical understanding of the venture fundraising process.
This event is a part of #NYTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
