Today our founders had another lively and useful master class at UzCombinator.
Our guest, the experienced specialist Davron Parmonov, shared the secrets of financing startups, raising investment and building the right dialogue with investors
The session covered these 4 areas:
• Valuation: how to set the real value of a startup at the idea and early stage? How do market size, the team and first traction affect valuation?
• Due diligence: how do investors audit a startup's legal, financial and technical state before putting money in? Which documents must be ready to get through it smoothly?
• Funding rounds: the road from pre-seed and seed to Series A and B. Who is asked for how much at each round?
• Investment readiness: preparing the pitch deck, building the cap table correctly, and avoiding the main mistakes made in front of investors.
Which do you think is hardest for an early-stage startup: valuing the company, or getting through due diligence?
