Fundraising is frustrating, but it really shouldn’t be. We feel you, founders — we’ve been there too, and we want to pour the collective wisdom of BADideas.fund community in the next generation of CEE-born unicorns so that it’s just that little less stressful for you.
Following last year’s success, we’re launching Fundraising School 2.0, an actionable & comprehensive 4-module bootcamp that is rooted in the experience of 200+ successful startup founders & operators and covers early-stage fundraising needs. The course culminates in curated, individual speed-dating sessions with top-tier angel investors & VCs, setting you up for success in the Q4 2024 fundraising game.
<aside> 👀 Last year's cohort of 83 graduates had 120 investor meetings, resulting in 30% conversion for follow-up meetings, 2 invitations to accelerators, 1 early acquisition kick off, and €3.5M (and counting) raised!
