Raising a seed round? It’s not about taking more meetings, it’s about taking the right ones. According to Dropbox data, founders who successfully raised in 2023 averaged 40 VC meetings, but more meetings didn’t necessarily mean more funding. The takeaway?

Smart pitching beats high-volume pitching every time. #Startups #Fundraising #VentureCapital #SeedFunding
