Raise Millions by Hustle Fund VC Page 42 Best: March – May Spring is the best time to fundraise. There aren’t too many major holidays. The weather is amazing. Yeah, there’s usually a spring break but most VCs are working. It’s normal for VCs to meet you in person outside at the Rosewood Hotel. Or take a walk with you somewhere on Sand Hill Road. Or grab coffee together at Coupa Cafe in Palo Alto. You know, Silicon Valley things. Decent: June – July School is out! VCs usually go on another vacation to spend time with family. But there is still some activity happening in both June and July. Besides the 4th of July holiday, VCs are fairly responsive. All in all, the first half of the calendar year is a pretty good time to start the fundraising process. Worst: August August is the absolute worst time to raise money. VCs basically take the entire month off for summer vacation. They’re somewhere in Ibiza, Mykonos, or Croatia enjoying the sunshine. hustlefund.vc / @hustlefundvc
