This interview series "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders who have raised capital. This episode is with Thejo Kote of Airbase.com which makes an all-in-one spend management platform.
In this talk, Thejo talks about how he did extensive customer development before building a product, why he thinks founders should avoid large funds for their seed round, what milestones to hit before raising a Series A, why the "heavy lifting" of raising capital actually happens 18 months before fundraising, and more.
Airbase raised a $7 million Series A led by First Round Capital. Village Global, BoxGroup, Quiet Capital, and Maynard Webb also participated.
How I Raised It is produced by Foundersuite, makers of software to raise capital and manage investor relations. Learn more at www.foundersuite.com.
