Fireside with a VC diving into a round table discussion with The Band of Angels, one of the oldest and most active angel groups in Silicon Valley covering the current seed and early stage investing and fundraising market environment and conditions. How are valuations and terms changing, the importance of QSBS tax and when to use priced rounds, convertible notes and the dangers of SAFE notes.
Disclaimer: many of these angel groups are LP investors in our VC funds and active members of our network sourcing deal flow, conducting due diligence, taking board seats, actively adding value to our portfolio companies, impacting our exits and helping us raise more LP capital for our VC funds. Many of the members of The Band are highly successful senior executives from large tech titans as well as successful entrepreneurs that have founded startups, raised angel and VC funding and experienced the spectrum of positive and negative outcomes making them more valuable than many VCs to have in your corner in good and bad times along the startup journey.
