Pitch Perfect: How to Raise Funding from Investors

on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Panelists lay out concrete fundraising rules: typical early funds cited are $40M or $200M and one firm lists ~47 portfolio companies; expect mobile hits to cost $10–15M development + $2–3M marketing, Roblox raised ~$150M, and late-stage deals carry legal/advisory bills rising from ~$30–40k to $3–5M+. Advice: quantify 18–24 month cash needs, avoid over-capitalizing, prepare for heavy due diligence, and prove the three-way thesis of management market differentiation; anecdote: major acquirer passed on Riot/League of Legends.
