Do you have any visions of Series A financing in your future? A lot of hard work and preparation goes into securing your first round of VC funding. Early stage founders are no stranger to hard work – especially those who raised their seed. But Series A prep is a whole different beast. And economic headwinds always make things more interesting.

Here’s just one example of how the two rounds differ. Raising seed money usually revolves around a founder’s big vision. However, a Series A requires that big vision plus corporate traction.

And now the good news. Josh Coyne, partner at Kleiner Perkins, will share his considerable knowledge on this topic at australiabusinessblog.com Early Stage on April 20 in Boston, Massachusetts. And speaking of Beantown, Coyne spent his college days there and may know a thing or two about being a young entrepreneur in the Commonwealth.

In a session called “How to Raise a Series A with Headwinds Against You,” Coyne will detail what you need to know about raising a Series A round under normal and non-optimal economic conditions.

Whether you’re preparing your startup for a Series A plunge, or just want to understand what it takes to secure this kind of funding in a tight economy, this session is for you.
