About this event

This Peer Group will discuss fundraising strategies, share thoughts, templates and best practices around all aspects of fundraising from which firms to pursue at what stages, industries, products, to how to build a terrific pitch deck, to practicing your pitch in a safe place, to talking through setting valuation and deal terms. This is intended to be a safe space to explore and learn together, and make each of our learning curves all the less challenging by supporting one another.

Chatham House Rule:  What is said in this group, stays in this group. Sessions are not recorded and will not be part of the library.

What to expect:  -A topical theme each meeting with guided questions -We may invite some expert guests selectively! -No slides/decks or AV and a loosely structured dialogue

Insightful conversations for topics such as: -Crowd funding sites for investments (background on these and how they work) -When is the right time for fundraising? -Competitive storytelling for entrepreneurs -The venture studio model and if it's right for you as an entrepreneur -How to raise your first $1MM

Date and time: 1 hour meeting on the last Friday of each month at 1pm PT/ 4pm ET

Peer Group Host: Gaby Aneas

Peer Group Expert: Coco Brown

Peer Groups

We have an incredible community of female leaders at Athena and we want to bring you closer together! Join a Peer Group and build a network of peers you can engage with for guidance, lessons learned and insights around a shared interest. Choose a topic that most interests you or drop in and out of multiple peer groups as it suits you best. You’ll find at least one peer group available to join every week. Each live session goes for one hour, no preparation is needed, just show up as you are. We look forward to seeing you there!

new-img
Learning Circles

A Learning Circle is an opportunity to connect with a small group of other Athena members in a focused yet casual setting, creating accountability around targeted learning to assist you in achieving your goals. Over the course of 6 sessions, club members will meet every 2 weeks to participate in an organic, peer-led discussion of the session's "chapters" consisting of 1-2 Athena salons which are to be reviewed on your own prior to the group session. When joining, members are committing to completing all 6 sessions.

Guided Networking

Typically led by one of Athena's coaches, networking events provide members an opportunity to meet one another in a smaller intimate and virtual setting.
