VC Secrets: What do top funds look for in founders?

VC Secrets: What do top funds look for in founders?

About the event

When VCs do due diligence on a startup, they're also assessing the founders. Too often, these evaluation processes are built on rigid methods that don’t capture founders’ potential to develop. So what's the best way for founders to get ahead of the curve? At our next event, our panel of experts will demystify the founder due diligence process. They'll reveal what top funds look for in founders, how this process is failing investors and founders, as well as practical ways for founders to prepare to be evaluated. If you've ever wanted to peer behind the VC curtain, this is your chance!

We'll be discussing

  1. Founder due diligence: what to expect and how to prepare as a founder
  2. How founder diligence in venture capital is falling short
  3. Where could the process be improved?
