Ep. 296 How I Raised It with Pablo Srugo of Mistral.vc

How I Raised It - The podcast where we interview startup founders who raised capital.

Produced by Foundersuite (for startups: www.foundersuite.com) and Fundingstack (for VCs: www.fundingstack.com), "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders and investors who have raised capital. This episode is with with Pablo Srugo of Mistral.vc, a seed stage venture capital firm based in Toronto that invests in early stage startups that have achieved (or are close to reaching) "product-market fit."

In this episode we go through Gymtrack's wild startup rollercoaster ride, from raising capital, to getting a strategic investor, to getting an acquisition offer -- all to have it come crashing down suddenly. We also talk about how being a VC is different (hint: easier) than being a Founder, how to use a podcast to stay top of mind with Founders, the perils of strategic investors and much more. How I Raised It is produced by Foundersuite, makers of software to raise capital and manage investor relations. Foundersuite's customers have raised over $21 Billion since 2016.
