Just Raised. Now What? | What I Wish I Knew LIVE

Just raised? This is the part nobody puts in the announcement post. A founder and the VC who backed him unpack what happens next. Same moments, opposite sides of the table. Everyone tells you how to raise. Almost nobody tells you what happens after the money lands. This is a live recording of What I Wish I Knew On Day One, KC Ventures' vodcast hosted by Luke Rix, about what actually happens to a founder after the wire hits. Not the pitch deck version. The real one. For Spark, we're putting two chairs on stage. Daniel Lord-Doyle of Mary Technology goes first and talks honestly about his raise, including the messy middle. Then Oliver Darwin of OIF Ventures takes the same questions from the other side of the table. Same moments. Two very different perspectives. Bring the question you actually want answered. The last fifteen minutes bring both guests together for questions from the room. No panel scripts, no need to make it sound clever. Just a small room of founders, with the chance to ask a founder and an investor the questions that don't always get asked on stage. There are plenty of sessions where a founder talks about raising, and plenty where an investor explains what they look for. This is a chance to hear both sides, then ask about the bit that's relevant to you. Who it's for Founders who have just raised, are raising now, or are about to. If you've taken capital and the next twelve months look less obvious than you expected, this is the room. Free to attend. Seats are capped, with a waitlist. Light refreshments from 3:30pm. This is a recording, not a livestream, so there will be cameras in the room. Nothing goes out unedited.
