Too many founders struggle with fundraising because they don't understand how the seed ecosystem works or how to fundraise efficiently and effectively.
To raise a quick, successful round, you need to understand how to navigate the seed fundraising ecosystem effectively, how to use the dynamics of a round to your advantage, and how to align your actions with the way investors make decisions.
Oversubscribed shows you how.
This is the complete guide to raising a seed round successfully, written by two founders who have done it themselves. The content is comprehensive, the style is welcoming, and the narrative puts the nervous founder at ease about such a stressful process. Save yourself the trouble of reading a hundred Medium articles on the same topic—just get Oversubscribed.
As the founder of an early-stage VC firm, I was both humbled and inspired to read Oversubscribed. There was so much information in the book I found useful and presented in a clear and fresh way, and inspired because the path they lay out will definitely increase the odds of success for any founder. We will be distributing copies to all our portfolio founders.
The next time someone asks me how to raise money, I’ll save myself (and them) an hour of stammering explanation, and just send them here.
