- Date posted

Watch her conversation with Senior Reporter Dominic-Madori Davis, discussing how the savviest startups are building for the future, despite political crosswinds at the concept of inclusiveness.

- Gone are the days when you simply needed $1 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) to raise a Series A. Some startups have raised a Series A with a lot more, and we’ve seen many manage the same feat with far less in recent quarters.

If you’ve raised pre-Seed or Seed capital, this is a conversation you shouldn’t miss.
