DETAILS

Join Startup Grind for a fireside chat with Katie Weiss of ffVC. Get her tactical playbook on nailing the 90-second pitch, go-to-market strategy, & AI ops. Learn what top VCs actually look for in an early-stage company, & get actionable insights to get funded & scale smarter. Tickets are limited.

The NYC startup scene is flooded with fundraising advice, but what do top-tier VCs actually want to see? How do you move from a promising idea to a defensible business in a market that demands more than just a good story?

Join Startup Grind for a no-fluff fireside chat with Katie Weiss, Principal at ff Venture Capital, one of the city's best-performing seed & early-stage VC firms since 2008.

With ffVC's sharp focus on AI, Manufacturing, & Robotics, as well as a track record of portfolio companies advancing to Series B at 5x the industry average, Katie brings a rare, operator-first perspective to venture.

Drawing on her experience building programs at Salesforce & managing ffVC's innovative "AIPS" (AI Point Solutions) program, this conversation goes beyond the pitch to focus on the playbook for building a real, scalable business.

This Event is For You If:

- You're an early-stage founder preparing to raise your seed round & need to cut through the noise with a clear, compelling strategy.
- You've built a promising MVP with no-code or low-code tools & are now facing the challenge of building a production-grade, scalable product.
- You're a startup employee, PM, or engineer who wants to understand the VC mindset to better contribute to your company's growth & fundraising efforts.
