8 fundraising tips I learned as a VC to help you raise your seed round.

You are in the business of giving a good meeting when raising your seed round, just like when interviewing great job candidates. A good meeting is novel and engaging, and it can make a big difference, especially in early-stage fundraising where many investors are more investing in the team than the specific idea. To give a good meeting, you should jump right in, especially in remote pitch meetings, keep your answers short, send the deck ahead of time so you can skip it during the meeting, be collaborative, start early to create urgency, and don't forget to ask the VC's questions too.
