Do you have visions of Series A<\/a> funding in your future? A lot of hard work and preparation goes into securing your first round of VC funding. Early-stage founders are no strangers to hard work \u2014 especially those who\u2019ve raised their seed round. But Series A prep is a different beast altogether. And economic headwinds always make things more\u2026interesting.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s just one example of how the two rounds differ<\/a>. Raising seed funding typically centers on a founder\u2019s big vision. A Series A, however, requires that big vision plus business traction.<\/p>\n

And now for the good news. Josh Coyne, partner at Kleiner Perkins, will share his considerable knowledge on this topic at TechCrunch Early Stage<\/a> on April 20 in Boston, Massachusetts. And speaking of Beantown, Coyne spent his college years there and may know a thing or two about being a young entrepreneur in the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n

In a session called \u201cHow to Raise a Series A with Headwinds Against You,\u201d Coyne will detail what you need to know about raising a Series A round under normal and less-than-optimal economic conditions.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re preparing your startup for a Series A plunge, or you simply want to understand what it takes to secure this type of funding in a tight economy, this session is for you.<\/p>\n

Josh Coyne focuses on investments in enterprise software and financial services. Prior to joining Kleiner Perkins, he served at Qatalyst Partners, where he helped advise on multi-billion-dollar acquisitions, leveraged buyouts and financings across a variety of technology sectors.<\/p>\n

Just some of Coyne\u2019s many notable investments include Epic Games (valued at $32 billion<\/a>), Figma (which Adobe is in the midst of acquiring for $20 billion<\/a>) and Rippling (valued at $11.25 billion<\/a>). He graduated from Boston College with a degree in Information Systems and Finance.<\/p>\n

All TechCrunch Early Stage<\/a> sessions include plenty of Q&A time to get answers directly from the speakers. You\u2019ll walk away with a deeper working understanding of topics and skills that are essential to startup success. Buy an early-bird founder ticket<\/a> now and save $200.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
