Episode notes

Feeling stuck because you "can't even raise $500K"? Before you decide your startup is doomed, your idea isn't good enough, or investors just "don't get it," take a breath. In this episode of Seed Money, Jayla breaks down why early-stage fundraising often feels more personal and discouraging than it actually is - especially for first-time founders without a wealthy friends-and-family network. Have questions specific to your situation? Join Jayla's FREE monthly Seed Money Office Hours call to ask your real funding questions and get more clarity on funding strategy, investor materials, pitching, finding investors, and how to close.
