LEARN HOW CNOTE KEPT IMPOSTOR SYNDROME AT BAY TO RAISE $3 MILLION DOLLARS
CNote recently closed a $3 million round to scale a solution that redeploys capital to create jobs, fund BIPOC-owned small businesses, and support affordable housing development.
Along CNote’s unique path to raising capital, Yuliya shares that one of the most challenging moments was when investors didn’t provide feedback to explain why they weren’t interested in investing.
Yuliya’s advice? Remind yourself that there are elements of your situation and business that you can control, and elements that you can’t control. Integrate the feedback that will help you refine your story or improve the delivery of your pitch, but don’t let what you can’t control dampen your momentum.
