As the COVID-19 era drags on, first-time founders need to find new ways to raise capital needed to keep startups offensive (and defensive). Luckily, a trio of investors from top venture capital firms are joining us at TC Sessions: Justice on March 3 to make sense of different paths to funding.

The panel will include Sydney Thomas, a principal at Precursor; Brian Brackeen, a general partner at Lightship Capital; and Dr. Astrid J. Scholz, the founder and managing partner of Sphaera and the founding director of Zebras Unite.

We’ll ask about how these decision-makers advise founders to navigate the fundraising process, but with a twist. In this session, we’ll focus on the different, non-traditional paths one can take to getting their first checks. After all, not everyone has wealthy family and friends to milk $2 million out of on demand.
