How Much to Raise - a free lesson in How to Raise Venture Capital at SaaStr AI University.
The right raise is not the biggest number you can get. It is the number that funds your next milestone plus runway to reach it without panic.
Key takeaways:
• Raise enough for 18 to 24 months and the milestones that unlock the next round. Round up, not to the moon.
• Raising too little is a classic trap: you run out before the milestone and take a bridge that dilutes you more.
• To really scale, keep roughly $1M on the balance sheet for every $2M in ARR.
