Startup Fundamentals 2: Developing a Funding Strategy
Are you an entrepreneur ready to transform your vision into a successful, fundable startup? Snell & Wilmer is proud to be Sponsoring Access Silicon Valley’s invaluable 3-hour workshop designed to equip you with the legal and business tools and insights necessary to build a fundable and scalable startup and thrive in the startup ecosystem!
This is the second of three workshops in the Access Silicon Valley Startup Fundamental Series for startup founders, startup executives, entrepreneurs, innovators, and developers.

Learn the best way to raise the money you need to successfully launch and scale your startup!
This session will cover:
- How to develop a funding strategy appropriate for your startup
- When to raise funds, how much to raise, and from who
- The danger of taking too much or too little from investors
