How to raise a round: What VCs want to see in 2025

October 6, 2025
11:30am – 1:30pm PT

Venture capital firms are more selective and demanding when it comes to financing these days, especially with regard to first financings by early stage startups. Join us for an informative panel where we’ll be discussing questions and topics such as:

  • The landscape of VC: Who are the players?
  • When should founders start approaching venture capital firms for investment?
  • What kind of business and financial metrics should a founder have in place before approaching venture firms for a priced round raise?
  • What hot verticals are early stage VCs investing in today?
  • What do venture capitalists predict about the venture market for the remainder of 2025?

Panelists:

  • Anish Srivastava (Swisscom Ventures)
  • Zamir Shukho of (Vibranium.VC)
  • Sophie Durey (Tamar VC)
  • Lindsey Mignano (SSM)
  • Adam Dunnet (BPM)
