Chicago #TCW – VCapital – Intro to Fundraising in 2024 for AAPI, International, and Immigrant Founders
Join us during Chicago Tech Week #TCW on Thursday, July 25th starting at 5:30pm for a special presentation, panel, and networking session hosted by VCapital and co-sponsored by TriNet. Location: River North/Streeterville
This event is focused on early stage fundraising/investments for International, AAPI, and Immigrant Founders and Investors. The event is open to founders, investors, students, immigration lawyers, and more – the content is relevant for anyone interested in startups, early stage investments, and small businesses.
The early stage fundraising ecosystem has changed drastically in recent years compared to the past 5 years as venture capital, private investors, and more have changed strategies due to macroeconomics.
In the United States, specifically, fundraising can differ significantly geographically, culturally, socioeconomically, by startup stage, and more making it particularly difficult for AAPI, Immigrant, and International founders and investors to navigate the fundraising landscape.
Some topics that will be covered:
-The Different Stages of Startup Investments
-Recap/Review of Ecosystem Changes from 2021 to 2024
-Socioeconomics of Early Stage Fundraising
-Sourcing, Qualifying, and Closing Investments/Rounds
-Dos/Donts and maybe some Secrets of Fundraising
Founders will have the opportunity to connect with other international, AAPI, immigrant founders, and investors to engage in meaningful conversations that can shape the future of your venture. Hope you can join us!
