Connects: Early Stage Fundraising from Silicon Valley Investors

There has been a fundamental shift in recent years regarding:

• Fundraising Terminology - Does Series A mean the same thing in Silicon Valley as Denver? (Spoiler: it doesn't.)
• Fundraising Milestones - What matters more for an early stage startup patents or traction?
• Fundraising Expectations - How many customers do you need to raise a Seed round? (not zero) Does your product need to be fully functional before Pre-Seed? (in most cases, absolutely) What is the lowest ARR requirement for most institutional Series A raises? (Much higher than you would think!)
