In this one-hour interactive webinar, venture capitalist Tim Cartwright (Chairman of Tamiami Angel Funds and Partner at Fifth Avenue Family Office) will share candid, insider information, to become an investable startup at the pre-seed stage, to build a foundation for success in later funding rounds. Aimed at first-time founders in Southwest Florida, the session will cover what early-stage investors really look for in a startup and how you can demonstrate those qualities even before reaching $1M in revenue.

Tim will draw on his experience to outline realistic steps to validate realistic ideas, build traction, and focus on educational and practical advice to help you stand out and attract pre-seed capital. Attendees will learn how to build a strong founding team, prove a real market need, develop an MVP, and map out milestones that make investors take notice. Tim will also discuss what comes post-seed, how to hit key benchmarks (e.g., the $1M ARR threshold) that signal you’re ready for the next round. Be prepared for a highly interactive workshop, with live polls, real-world examples, and a 15 minute Q&A session, ensuring founders obtain answers to their burning questions. Get ready for a realistic, no-fluff look at early-stage fundraising and what it takes to become truly investable.
