Founder and CEO of LiquiDonate, Disney Petit, was invited to speak about fundraising to other founders with the Ganas Ventures team for a fireside chat at Roaming Goat on October 9, 2024. The crowd consisted of pre-seed and seed stage startups looking for perspective on how to raise in a difficult climate.

With the recent funding announcement for LiquiDonate’s seed round, Petit said she appreciated the opportunity to share actionable advice and things she wished she knew at the beginning of the fundraising process with founders currently on a similar journey;
“Fundraising is hard. Make sure you have a quality support team behind you that can help keep the business running as normal while your time pivots significantly to focus on the raise. People want to help you and will actually appreciate you following up with them in their area of expertise. I recommend keeping a spreadsheet with the person's name, contact information, notes from the last time you spoke, and their superpower so that next time you’re in a bind, you have someone you can reach out to as a sounding board for that specific issue. It’s a great way to connect and reconnect with folks you meet along the way."
