Hi Product Hunt community! 👋 I lead customer success at Capwave AI, and I'd love to hear your input on these topics as we continue improving the product: 👉 What’s your biggest pain point when it comes to fundraising? 👉 If you could wave a magic wand and solve one thing about the process, what would it be? Capwave is an AI-driven startup dedicated to democratizing the capital raising process — so I talked to several first-time founders during beta testing. Here are the top 3 things I learned: 1. Raising capital isn't an even playing field: it's nearly impossible without the right connections who know the right investors. 2. Trying to piece together venture capital info and trends is a job of its own. Between building your starting and raising capital, there's hardly any time left in the day. 3. It's extremely easy to get off track from your fundraising goals due to feeling overwhelmed and disorganized. Do you agree/disagree? Have anything to add? Any personal stories or opinions? We recently closed out our beta testing round and are planning to launch on Product Hunt at the end of the month, but the learning never stops. We want founders like you to have a say in our product roadmap to prioritize the features that actually matter - that's why we're asking. We know how tough it can be—whether it's struggling to find the right investors, crafting the perfect pitch deck, or keeping track of outreach (while still running your business). Feel free to also contact us via our website: www.capwave.ai Let’s start a conversation. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts! 💡

For me, the main problem with fundraising is becoming dependent on an investor. I’ve spent so long trying to break free from working for someone else that I’m afraid of ending up with a quasi-new employer.
