Inside Out: Winning Your Next Round

Gateway Factory PULSE Workshop in collaboration with TechVisionFond

Raising capital is about much more than pitching to as many investors as possible. The real challenge is identifying the investors who are the right fit for your startup, your stage of development, and your long-term vision.

Join this interactive 90-minute workshop with Lars Gussen, Early-Stage Investor at TechVisionFond, and gain the rare opportunity to explore fundraising from an investor’s perspective.

Together, you’ll tackle one of the most important questions every founder should ask before starting a fundraising round:

Who are the right investors for your next funding round?

The answer surprises many founders—and serves as the foundation for a focused, efficient, and successful fundraising strategy.

Throughout the workshop, you’ll gain practical insights into how investors evaluate startups, what truly makes a company investment-ready, and how to identify and prioritize the investors most likely to become long-term partners. You’ll also learn how investor expectations evolve as startups mature, and what it takes to position your company successfully in an increasingly competitive fundraising environment.

This workshop is open to founders at all stages, but is especially valuable for startups preparing for their second or third funding round. If you’ve already secured initial funding and are looking to finance your next phase of growth, you’ll gain valuable insights into the mindset of experienced investors, their expectations for follow-on investments, and how to position your company for a successful fundraising process.

Following the workshop, we warmly invite you to join us for an informal networking session. Over food and drinks, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with fellow founders, investors, and members of the startup ecosystem, continue the conversations sparked during the workshop, and build valuable new relationships in a relaxed setting.
