Since launching in late 2017, AI service experience startup Aisera successfully raised over $164M from VCs such as Zoom, Menlo Ventures, First Round Capital and Norwest Ventures — helping them grow to the +180 employee company they are today.
Co-Founder and CEO Muddu Sudhakar gives his tips on fundraising:
Vision is everything. Make sure your investors share it and are in it for the long haul. Board members matter. Get people who are running businesses now. Don’t waste your time. If they have serious interest, they will invest early on.Check out Founders Village: https://bit.ly/3QPApIe
