Fundraising tips for beginners + escaping corporate for Web 3 with Sarah Gottwald

Today I welcome special guest Sarah Gottwald, who shares her journey of leaving her corporate career at BMW and transitioning into the web 3 space. We chat all about about her desire for growth, freedom, and new opportunities, and why that led her to explore blockchain and eventually make the decision to quit her job.

Importantly we talk all about raising funds in Web 3 and what that looks like for complete beginners ( like me!)
