About this Event
Overview:
This Demystifying Investment Jargon event will help founders adopt investor lingo so you can discuss your fundraising strategy and approach investors with confidence.
Content:
In this workshop, we'll walk through common fundraising terms, unpacking increasingly important (and frankly, ridiculous) jargon. We'll begin by providing a quick recap on types on investor and wrap up with a quick game of Buzzword Bingo to test who among us is investor (conversation) ready.
What will you learn?
We'll cover specific terms around:
- What an investor's "investment thesis" is
- Your target market
- Discussing your financial model
- Talking about your business bottom line
- What is a CAP table and shareholder terms you need to know

- Legal documents
