Fundraising is difficult. On top of building a strong business, founders need to build their investor funnel from start to finish. They need to find the right investors, build relationships, and successfully pitch their company with hopes of a check.
In order to better help founders tackle finding investors for their business, we’ve built a totally free, community-sourced investor database, Visible Connect.
While the world has certainly become virtual over the last few years, there are still benefits in keeping tabs on the local tech and startup scene. For founders located in the Dallas area and Texas, we’ve put together a list of the 20 venture capital funds you need to know:
