We thank Kasey Kyungsil Roh and Mark Kim for speaking with us last Friday on how to engage with venture capital firms and investors! In the talk, both of the speakers gave great insights on how to build relationships as well as how to pique VC's interest for eventual fundraising and company building. Specifically, the key component here is to engage VCs not in a manner of going straight for fundraising but to seek feedback and use the chance to potentially paint the massive opportunities at hand. Additionally, it's important to do background research into what every investment partner is interested in investing by looking at their recent investments as well as any blogs or articles published to get a better understanding. In the end, it is in a founder's best interest to conduct thorough research and find the right investors to get the best result. On the other hand, the right investor can provide valuable support. Samsung, for example, would provide spots at tradeshows through their partnerships and other marketing partners to help spread brand awareness beyond just capital deployment. #startup #venturecapital #fundraising
