Startup Week: Mastering Venture Capital Fundraising – Part 2

Part 2: Execution, Momentum & Closing

In the second part, you’ll move into implementation and learn how to actively manage the fundraising process. You’ll translate your strategy into concrete actions, target investors specifically, and build a structured fundraising pipeline. You’ll learn how to gain access to relevant investors through both warm introductions and cold outreach, and how to efficiently prepare for and conduct your meetings.

There is a special focus on building and maintaining momentum. You’ll learn to clearly structure meetings, handle follow-ups professionally, and manage the entire process in a way that ensures continuous progress. At the same time, you’ll develop an understanding of how to successfully manage fundraising and the operational growth of your company in parallel without losing focus.

Finally, you’ll focus on the negotiation and closing phase of your funding round. You’ll learn to confidently negotiate terms and valuations, strategically handle multiple offers, and avoid common pitfalls. The goal is to close your round from a position of strength and bring the entire process to a successful conclusion with professionalism and confidence.
