Working with us for 2 months, both in a group 2 times a week and independently with your team, you will fully build a systematic campaign to raise the rounds of pre-seed, seed, A: prepare materials for investors, prepare and launch e-mail and LinkedIn outreach campaigns, start forming your own warm network with investors. All this will be done according to the various types of methodology used in the best accelerators; for example, 500global, Alchemist, YC, based on the experience of Microsoft, IBM outreach campaigns, and so on (everyone knows that raising a round of investments is a B2B sale).
