StartingBlock presents: Lunch with Hudson Hollister, CEO of HData

Hudson Hollister of HData on what happens when VC investors' goal posts change, and why it's not the end of the world. Hudson opened his fundraise in the epicenter of the SaaSpocalypse, and saw his investors' perceptions shift in real time. And yet, the process still worked: the company got funded, and the shift forced a financial plan that still grows the company. In this conversation, Hudson will talk candidly about: • What it takes to plan and pitch a Series B • What investors said, and what he learned from the feedback • How the plan, the team, and the timeline changed when the number did • What he'd tell founders who are raising now, or will be someday
