In this episode, Kevin Callahan shares what startup fundraising actually required at Hopscotch: $7.5 million across pre-seed and seed, conversations with 150 to 200 VCs per round, and roughly 1,000 hours of work. He and Hunter also discuss leaving big tech, fundraising through the 2023 downturn, the financial and personal strain of startup life, and Kevin's case for targeted investor outreach over mass automated messages. Founders preparing to raise will get a realistic account of the work behind the funding announcement.
