@danmurrayserter 🙋‍♀️

Guys... Help. I get hundreds of DMs every week asking about where to go for angel/ funding but most are raising 100k for good businesses that are not venture scale but still good businesses that'll reach the 1 to 10m mark. Where do I suggest to them? Networks/sites all welcome!

@TechCityNews Thanks for the story @TechCityNews ! We're excited to give founders more options when it comes to how they get their startups funded 💪

We’re excited to announce our first $20m fund 🎉🎉 We’re giving founders better VC terms and more alignment. Come have a chat! Thank you to @maijapalmer, @Siftedeu , and @EU_Startups for covering the story! sifted.eu/articles/d2-vc…

We believe the HERO gives founders greater optionality when it comes to growing their companies. It gives you access to the capital you need in order to figure out what your business is going to be vs setting you down a definitive path of growth/death.
