🤝 Negotiate Like a Founder

This masterclass with former venture capitalist Soma Pirityi flipped the script on fundraising, taking founders inside the investor mindset and equipping them with the tools to negotiate on their own terms. Attendees gained a clear understanding of term sheets, learned battle-tested negotiation tactics, and uncovered the hidden traps founders face when raising capital.

The event was hosted at Runway East, with invaluable support from our partners: Em & Drew, who provided free on-site childcare, and Safespace Plus, who ensured a safe and inclusive environment for all attendees.

By the end of the session, founders walked away sharper, bolder, and better prepared to protect their equity, their mission, and their control.
