| Over the next two weeks, I am going to have a 4-part mini-series where I go through the fundraising questions that I hear most often, so that you can make sure that you have an answer to each of these questions. Today we are going to focus on questions about your Fundraising and next steps. | Fundraising | How much are you raising? What is your valuation? How much have you raised? What was your last valuation? Who are your existing investors? What do they bring aside from money? Do you have any dead space on your cap table? How much do the founders own? Is this enough to keep you incentivized through to an exit? How much is commited in this round? Have you set the terms for this round? Do you have a lead investor? What is your burn rate? What is your runway?
