The Crucible program was my foundation and starting point. Learning about pitch decks and customer discovery, and communicating regularly with my mentor helped me a lot. 

Alchemist prepared me to know exactly what I wanted to build and how to present it. Working with my mentor helped me understand a lot more of what's needed to actually raise capital and the steps to get to that point.
