In Business Greater Phoenix: VC Fundraising in Today’s Environment with Chris Van Dusen
In a recent article published by In Business Greater Phoenix, Chris Van Dusen shares his perspective on venture capital fundraising.
Here are a few takeaways:
- Founders need to be smart with valuation, as their last round won’t necessarily dictate a valuation increase — even if they hit milestones… Find smart capital at a fair value and focus on execution.
- Defining the market is extremely important. Don’t overstate the true market that’s being addressed.
- Once terms are accepted and is capital deployed, the most important element in a great founder/VC relationship is communication. Many founders are worried that this new level of accountability will stifle growth. In actuality, it can help propel it further — and faster.
