Ep. 186 How I Raised It With Christine Tao Of SoundingBoard

Produced by Foundersuite.com, "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders who have raised capital. This episode is with Christine Tao of Sounding Board, an online platform that is democratizing coaching for emerging business leaders (https://www.soundingboardinc.com/). In this episode, Christine shares how she raised capital as a female, non-technical co-founder, how coaching is similar to mentoring, how she kept in touch with her investors (each of which had previously told her "no"), how to look at investors as equals, and how she ran a lightning-fast oversubscribed process in 6 weeks. The Company most recently raised a $13.1 million Series A led by Canaan Partners. Other investors include Correlation Ventures, Bloomberg Beta, Precursor Ventures, as well as Degreed founder David Blake and Kevin Johnson, the former CEO of Udemy.
