"Why us getting $2M revenue was not enough. Mistakes to avoid." - Mars Talk

On the 20th of December we are having a chat with Friso Schmid, Founder @Startup Fountain. Startup Fountain connects European startups and investors by providing a transparent platform that both startups and investors can use to discover each other.

Previously, Friso has raised €2M+ from various sources for his previous hardware startup.After experiencing fundraising firsthand, he has built www.startupfountain.com using no-code tools with the goal to make it easy and fast to find suitable startups and investors in the Netherlands.

We will dive into:

- why transparency in fundraising is key;

- outreach strategy;

- how to initiate communication with investors;

- securing funding;

- how to come up with an adequate ask for the investors.
