In this episode of Bell Curve, we discuss the state of VC markets and fundraising 101. What should founders look out for when fundraising? Why do terms often matter more than valuation, and how should founders think about anti-dilution? We answer these questions and more in this fundraising segment.
We then explore the current macro environment, the Mango exploit and dangers of oracle pricing, the upcoming midterms and reasons to be optimistic!
