Agenda:
This is part of The Startup Code, an open accelerator program by eChai Ventures and LegalWiz.in, designed for early-stage founders and aspiring entrepreneurs.

While bootstrapping can be a great way to grow your startup, understanding the ins and outs of fundraising is crucial for those considering external capital. This AMA (Ask Me Anything) session brings together venture capitalists and angel investors who have supported successful startups.

This is your chance to ask questions and learn directly from the experts about what it takes to secure funding. Whether you're exploring your options or preparing for your first funding round, this session will provide you with valuable insights into the fundraising process.

Join us to gain a deeper understanding of fundraising, and connect with other founders who are exploring their paths to growth.
