Hi founders,
This past week we held our annual Fundraising Bootcamp where we went through some FAQs about the fundraising process with the founders in our community. We consulted Venture Deals, which is a must-read for any entrepreneur who wants to build a venture-backed business. In the first chapter, Brad Feld lists out all the important players in the startup journey and he includes mentors as one of those players.
There’s research that shows that mentors can be secret weapons to the success of a startup. Top-performing founders such as Chad Dickerson of Etsy and Nat Turner of Flatiron Health have been mentored by other successful entrepreneurs like Caterina Fake from Flickr and Brian O’Kelley of AppNexus. Founders who are mentored by other successful entrepreneurs perform 3x better than the average founder.
If you get a chance to meet an admirable founder, seize the opportunity to build a relationship with them. At AppWorks, we hold Mentor Day so that founders get a chance to meet experienced founders who have been there, done that. If you’re interested in meeting mentors, apply to AppWorks Accelerator #22 >> https://bit.ly/2JfOUrp
