Should a founder even raise during the summer? | Ep 56 | Uncapped Notes
Eric recently posted a tweet that got pretty popular, about how more VCs are out of office this summer compared to previous years, and that as a result, fundraising might be difficult. But how true is it that VCs are out of office, and should founders really aim to push their fundraise to early September? On this episode of Uncapped Notes, Eric and Janel discuss the VC and founder reactions to Eric’s tweet, and give their take on fundraising this summer.
