We know many of you out there have amazing ideas, but can find it extremely frustrating to get your idea off the ground. Nothing is more frustrating than having a product or app that investors won't look at! 

Well that's why, WestWave Ventures is hosting a VC Panel as our first event in the LA VentureConnect Series. This event will go through the difficulties of navigating a Pre-Seed and Seed-Stage Capital Raise. We will have questions answered about the importance of traction at the Pre-Seed Stage of a company's lifespan, how to strategically find investors who align with your company's mission and stage of investment, and ways to properly approach investors with a fair valuation of your company.
