Why take this course?
The 1Mby1M Methodology is based on case studies. In this course, Sramana Mitra shares the tribal knowledge of tech entrepreneurs by giving students the rare seat at the table with the entrepreneurs, investors and thought leaders who provide the most instructive perspectives on how to build a thriving business. Through these conversations, students gain access to case studies exploring the alleys of entrepreneurship. Sramana’s synthesis of key learnings and incisive analysis add great depth to each discussion.
As the numbers of women who are VCs and Angel Investors continue to grow, the startup ecosystem continues to evolve. Will a female perspective be an asset to your startup? Might the influence and support of a strong woman lead your venture to success?
Raising money is a low probability game. You need to understand how investors think to be able to raise money successfully for your startup.
Also, as you may have already learned in my courses, the early stage investment ecosystem has fragmented, it’s no longer just seed and Series A. The seed part has fragmented into a 5-stage process, spanning pre-seed, seed, post-seed, pre-Series A, small Series A, big Series A.
As part of your research to find entrepreneur - investor fit, you will also want to consider whether certain women investors would be best for your startup. We will also cover the issue of bias against female entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley.
During this course, I will be teaching how women investors think about and analyze startups. We will have in-depth conversations around startups with several real world women investors.
Designed for tech entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs, this course provides insights into the minds of several women investors operating in this space for many years in their own words.
The 1Mby1M courses are all heavily based on interview-based case studies on Innovation, Business Models, Go To Market Strategies, Validation Principles, and various other nuances of an entrepreneur's journey.
