What you likely need

You're an early-stage founder with strong retail domain expertise and a pre-seed raise under your belt, but your public signal footprint is thin — limited press coverage and no corroborated funding announcements beyond a single LinkedIn post. Your next priority is building credibility with investors and customers through more visible storytelling and a formal seed raise.

Are these your current priorities?

We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.

  • fundraisingFormalize your seed raise with a clear deck and data room — your $1.25M pre-seed and early brand traction are compelling proof points to take to seed-stage retail-focused VCs.
  • positioningPitch your 'TJ Maxx for Gen Z' narrative to retail and consumer tech reporters at TechCrunch, Business of Fashion, and Retail Dive to build corroborated press coverage.
  • introsSeek warm introductions to retail-focused investors like Forerunner Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, and Baukunst (your existing lead) for follow-on capital.
  • tacticalPublish a transparent 'state of offe market' post with CAC, LTV, and GMV milestones to signal operational maturity to prospective investors and brand partners.
  • hiringPrioritize filling your open Operations Associate role in LA to free up founder bandwidth for brand partnerships and fundraising.
  • positioningLeverage the inbound interest from major brands (mentioned in your 2025 wrap) to secure anchor supply agreements that de-risk inventory and strengthen your investor story.
  • wellbeingConnect with a peer founder community (e.g., All Raise, Female Founder Collective) to build a support network as you scale through the high-intensity seed stage.
