Produced by Foundersuite.com, "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders who have raised capital. This episode is with Michael Bloch of Pillar Life (www.pillarlife.com), an online platform to store, organize, and share information with your family.

In this episode, Michael talks about how he used cold emails and persistence to land his first angel investors, how he got Kleiner Perkins to lead his seed round, and how (and why) he completely pivoted his business when COVID19 hit.

The company raised $6.53 million of seed funding in a deal led by Kleiner Perkins. Red Dog Capital, Day One Ventures, Great Oaks Venture Capital, Rainfall Ventures, Kairos HQ, K50 Ventures, Financial Venture Studio, Patrick Kavanagh, Adam Nash, Zachary Weinberg, Nathaniel Turner, Misha Esipov and Noah Weiss also participated in the round.

How I Raised It is produced by Foundersuite, makers of software to raise capital and manage investor relations. Foundersuite's customers have raised over $2.5 Billion since 2016.
