Unicorns Journal: Where Startup Stories Shine Bright

LovOn co-founder Sergey Bakaev shares the strategy that helped him raise a pre-seed round without any fundraising experience or investor network. We talked about how to survive dozens of rejections in a row, how to build a contact system from scratch, and why the strongest intros come from people you once helped yourself. You’ll learn whether any founder can raise a round, how to handle rejections properly, whether it’s possible to build a product and raise at the same time, and how the “density of communication” impacts fundraising outcomes.
