When all you've ever known is running a bootstrapped startup... the world of venture capital can feel pretty intimidating. Bootstrapping a company is an extreme sport, and so is going down the path of venture capital - but each path is completely different from one another.

You might have been able to build an amazing company that you believe can be huge (with the help of venture dollars), but without understanding how the game of venture capital actually works - you're at a huge disadvantage.

Today's guest Analisa Goodin, founder and CEO of Catch+Release knew this and decided to be proactive about it.

Way before she went out to raise her first of three successful rounds, she became a relentless networker which over time, led her to conversations with VCs getting her to learn the space. Clearly, something clicked because Catch+Release has now raised over $31M in venture capital.

Listen to the full episode to hear more details on her most recent rounds as well as advice she has for up and coming founders looking to raise capital.
