Never heard about Rainmakers? Rainmakers is a series of mini-conferences focusing on entrepreneurial education. Every event they run centers around a technological theme on which relevant startup founders and professionals from the industry are invited to share their experiences. Rainmakers is run by a team of aspiring entrepreneurs who hail from Southeast Asia, aiming to build a global network of entrepreneurs.

In their mini-conference this time round, the conference will look at how the seed funding landscape has evolved over the last two years, with the entrance of super angels, such as AngelList, as well as incubators and accelerators backed by venture funds. Differences and benefits of these various sources of early stage funding will be examined and there will be discussions on what entrepreneurs should consider when making their decision.

To add more content and excitement to the conference, the conference will also discuss what kind of term sheets work best at such an early stage for a startup, and when young companies should raise money in their product life cycle. Common mistakes that entrepreneurs make when fund-raising will also be reviewed and the various panelist will share a few valuable pointers on how to avoid them.
