Maëlle Gavet, CEO of Techstars, dives into the challenges of fundraising in her live Q&A with entrepreneurs. Gavet advises how startup founders are often in "warrior" mentality, and can get caught up in the pain and suffering involved in running a company and raising capital to grow that company.

In this real life example, she breaks down why it's important for startups to consider raising capital, especially if their runway is less than 18-24 months. She also goes into detail about how to reduce dilution and stress as a founder when going through the process of fundraising.
