The growth stage fundraising is again speeding up, but it's not the same game as before. At TechCrunch All Stage 2025, held on July 15th in Boston, we invite people who know how the rules will change and how to win in today's market.
Gao supports breakout startups such as Culture Amp, Gem, Sword Health, and Eliseai. She sat on either side of the table as an investor and operator. At Gusto, she helped scale the Post Series B. Now she helps founders get through noise and land deals in an increasingly competitive environment.
Don't miss out on Cathy's insights and sign up at every stage of today. For a limited time only, we offer discounts for both founder and investor tickets, with $155 and $250 respectively as the event approaches.
This is not a theory – this is what is currently working
In her session, “New Rules for Growth Stage Funding: How to Win With Series C & Boyding Rise,” GAO unravels how AI is driving a revival of late funding and whether most founders still miss the mark. She destroys what top investors really look for in today's trading, how to sharpen their pitch, and where they concentrate when they're raising over $30 million.
If you're expanding your breakout AI company or are trying to stay relevant to this high stakes landscape, this is a tactical session you don't want to miss.
