How To Reach 10 Top VCs With One Click

The fundraising hustle is well-known to startup entrepreneurs. A founder has to charge through meeting after meeting with investors while staying enthusiastic, endlessly tinker with a slide deck, and wake up sweating in the middle of the night worrying if the company will take off.

It can be a time-consuming and draining process for a founder as they try to build a product, hire a team and get a company off the ground.

But what if there was an easy way to not only pitch top venture capitalists, but connect with them and get valuable advice and mentorship just by applying for a free award?
