@sparkszilla I'm very excited for this to launch into the startup community. Having been an early reviewer, I can say it's the most comprehensive guide to raising VC funding for startups. It's a one-stop guide for expert advice. I personally appreciate your hard work and Holloway's alignment with helping startups grow.
@sparkszilla This is so awesome, the UX reading experience is the best I've seen on the web!! Would love to hear a little more about the content updates process. How often is it updated and how ar reader suggestions / questions incorporated into future versions?
@sparkszilla Awesome, Thanks for the ProductHunt reader Discount. Just bought it, looking forward to set some time this weekend!.
This is an incredible guide that I learned about by adding my .02 along the way - the amount of information compiled and the team behind it are amazing.
@ericfriedman Thank you, Eric! Your feedback was a big help as we created this.
I've been a beta user of this guide for a few months now, and it was an incredible asset for our most recent fundraise for Journal. As many of you know, fundraising can be an incredibly stressful and obfuscated process. This guide prepares you to put your best foot forward when talking to investors. It helps you understand their motivations and how you can best appeal to them, while also setting you up to run a focused, dense process.
Highly recommended for any founder of a startup looking for VC funding. And for employees of early stage startups too. Great job @sparkszilla and the rest of the team!
This is such a useful guide! I've been in venture before and now that I'm on the other side of the table, I can attest to the fact that useful information like this doesn't exist anywhere on the web right now. You can get bits and pieces from blogs or conversations IRL, but this is the first time I've seen such thorough, comprehensive content around raising VC. Congrats on such a great job with this Holloway team!
@kevinleeme Thank you, Kevin! Can't wait to get feedback from readers on how we can make it even better.
The Holloway team is amazing and @sparkszilla is a true mensch. Whenever people ask me for advice on equity I point them to Holloway’s guide - excited to be able to point current and future On Deck Fellowship founders to this new guide on raising VC.
@julianweisser Thank you, Julian 😊. If anyone wants to check out the Guide Julian mentioned, you can see it here (and it's entirely free): https://www.holloway.com/g/equit...
I am so proud to have played a tiny part in providing feedback on this guide to improve it. I can definitively say it is the only thing a founder has to read about raising venture capital.
I really wish these guides were out when I was younger. It's so hard to find a one-stop shop for info you can rely on + know isn't outdated.... but now you can! Shoutout to Holloway for making this happen.
Glad you guys charge for access to the platform. I really love how well presented everything is and the power of the platform you offer. Will be buying soon.
@sebastiancrossa Thank you so much, Sebastian! Can't wait to see you there...!
I SOOO wish I had something like this before hitting Sand Hill Road for the first time. I spent so much time piecing together different bits of advice to try to figure out whether I was making some big mistake that I didn't know about. A comprehensive roadmap would have saved me countless hours and gray hairs. For something as critical as fundraising, a guide like Holloway's can be a lifesaver.
I don't know how I'd figure out my way around starting a new company without Holloway Guides!
@dmitryzhdankin Aw man thanks, Dmitry. What subjects would you like to see us do next?
Wow, this content and reading experience looks amazing. I have not had the chance to delve into this Holloway guide, but I really appreciate the motivation to make this kind of knowledge accessible to startup communities where this information may be harder to come by. Well done!
@nicaguilar Thanks, Nico! This will be the first of many, so we're excited to publish more.
@nicaguilar Thank you, Nico! This is an amazing message! We really hope you enjoy the content and the experience. Please let us know if you have any questions!
The Holloway reader UX is what makes this thing straight up magical. Incredible job organizing the content so I can answer questions fast, Holloway team!
@carrieflips1 Thanks, Carrie! @ojoshe has done a great job keeping the reading experience simple, and we've worked hard on navigational features like search. Glad to see it noticed!
