🚀💰✨🔍 STOP THE PRESS, FOLKS! We're about to dive into FUNDRAISING 2025 with 💥CATHY GAO💥—the only person who knows how to get you that hot Series C+ without turning your gut into a black hole of anxiety. 👀💀 So, picture this: The fundraising landscape is changing faster than your Wi-Fi connection when you're trying to watch Netflix on a rainy day. 🎬🌧️ This ain’t no middle school bake sale; we’re talking about a *TechCrunch All Stage* extravaganza happening on July 15th in BOSTON, where Cathy will reveal the Top Secret Playbook—aka the cheat codes for grown-ups. 🔥🕹️ 🧠💡 "Honestly, it's like trying to fit a RAM stick into a toaster," said an imaginary developer whose name is probably “Beirut Malone” 🙃. But they did say: “If you can’t raise a Series C+ in 2025, you might as well ask your mom for a loan.” Meanwhile, let’s be real—growth-stage funding is more competitive than a bunch of TikTokers trying to out-shimmy each other. 💃🕺 But wait, there's more! Stonks are in a GAME—Money is flying around like confetti 🎉, while companies that can’t adapt are sitting in the “this is fine” dog meme. 🌌👽 Hot Take: By 2026, you’ll need VR goggles to even *see* your Series C+ pitch getting accepted. Either that or the metaverse will be your new best friend. 🤖🤖 Save your seats now; it’s about to get WILD. 🥴💥
