 Looking to raise funds? You're in luck. Today we're talking with Kat Weaver, co-founder of Power To Pitch. She's a top pitching coach who's helped hundreds of startups raise capital.  Kat was able to scale and sell her first company she started out of her college dorm room.

To date, Power To Pitch has helped founders raise over $25 million in grants and venture capital. As we discuss, there are so many mistakes founders make when raising funds — from failing to discuss monetization to pitching investors as if they were potential customers. Understanding what's important to investors is key to Power to Pitch's program. Kat and her business partner Katie Dunn help bridge the gap by helping startups learn the art and science of pitching.  Get a leg up on the competition with these key insights!
