About this event
A live, no-fluff workshop with Mariane Bekker on how to plan a pre-seed round that actually closes — instead of dragging on for six months and quietly stalling out.
What you'll learn:
How to size your round (and your ask) so investors say yes fasterThe "pre-seed narrative" that works in 2026: what investors are pattern-matching on right nowA target list that converts: how many investors to pitch, in what order, and how to sequence introsThe 5 docs you need (deck, memo, model, FAQ, references) — and what each one is actually forHow to read meetings honestly: who's a real lead, who's a tire-kicker, when to push for a term sheet
Who it's for: first-time and second-time founders running a pre-seed round in the next 3–6 months.
Hosted by Mariane Bekker, founder coach.
