Produced by Foundersuite.com, "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders who have raised capital. This episode is with Jon Staff of Getaway which designs micro-cabins and tiny house rentals that offer customers an escape from their everyday lives (www.getaway.house). In this episode, Jon talks about being transparent vs. being cynical when raising capital, how the pitch evolved between Seed, Series A and Series B, why capital structure matters (especially with an "asset heavy" business like his), raising from PE firms, and much more. The Company raised $22.5 million through the combination of debt and Series B venture funding in a deal led by Starwood Capital Group. L Catterton, Tamarisc Ventures, Rough Draft Ventures, Purple Arch Ventures, Fueled, Alumni Ventures Group, Blue Ivy Ventures, Green D Ventures, The Graduate Syndicate, Harvard i-lab, Tom Rutledge, Rameet Chawla, Aaron Vomberg and Charles Clinton also participated in the round. This series is produced by Foundersuite, makers of software to raise capital and manage investor relations. Foundersuite users have raised over $1.2 Billion since 2016.
