These female founders have a different approach to fundraising (and they got a free booth at TechCrunch)
Startup founders Elena Oprea & Viorica Vanica of Selftalk think differently when it comes to seeking investment. So I had them explain how they were able to attract new investment opportunities.
In this conversation Elena and Vio share:
- how they got a free booth at Tech Crunch (and attracted people to it)
- how they elevated their pitch to be on the same level as startups coming out of Y Combinator
- their journey from Moldova to London to San Francisco (and why they pivoted from a B2C to a B2B applications)
👍 Bonus: Elena and Vio also share the unusual thing they did to earn the respect of other founders participating in the Draper accelerator
