Great story, Natalie! Thanks for sharing! Wishing you all the best with Rella!
-
Yay congratulations Natalie! Been following you and your journey for a while! I've learned so much from your videos and recent webinars and I'm so excited for you and Rella!
-
This was such a great video Natalie! It was so informative. I would love a series on this and maybe even more into your team, what everyone’s role is and how you all came together ❤
-
Next video elaborate how the money flows. For example when an investor hands you a $100K check, what does it specifically fund or where is it deposited? How are those things agreed upon and determined?Things like that
-
Thanks for the insight Natalie! Going through it right now as a Founder for a SaaS - the rejections are real! But definitely more motivated now with your insights! Merci!
-
Thank you so much for this video. I am a founder myself and I’m so overwhelmed and confused as to what to do so I’m glad I came across this video
-
Congrats on raising money. Excited to see how things go next year!
-
That’s amazing congrats on that achievement many more to come for your start up in the new year 🥰🤩🤩
-
Congrats on the huge milestone 🎊 Think a cool follow up to this video would be introducing the team along with the actual pitch you gave to investors. I can relate to the mental challenges, especially when doubt starts to creep in. Making it this far proves that you have what it takes to come out on top. Keep your head up, don't let the crown tilt.
-
go girl! I'm from NC as well. Just started a visuals company and found your video super informative! Congrats on your venture!
-
Look Natalie I was watching this while goal setting for 2023 and when you got to the fast forward part I thought I clicked the wrong button and my laptop had broke! Love your content as always <3
-
This was so good, transparent and useful thanks for this
-
Wow, this is incredible!! Congratulations! One thing that I learned from working at a start-up is 'no' just means later :)
-
Thank you so much for this Natalie! I am 53 amd this is BY FAR the best breakdown video I have scene ( intended.) I know this word is overused but the true authenticity and honesty and not super polished is what makes this awesome 7 super helpful & inspiring IMHO. Learned a crap ton& yes PLEASE make more videos on the process & subsequent rounds/growth...
-
Thanks for the insight Natalie!
-
Thank you so much honey, so insightful!
-
Really excited for this video! I’m a startup founder and have gone through the gambit of accelerators. Would love to know how you assessed which investors would be good partners + how you got introductions to them! Excited to listen to the video and podcast
-
