#20 Fundraising in Health Tech: Seed vs Series A vs Beyond. Katheleen Eva. Stephanie Mouchbahani-Constance
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Kathleen Eva, Investor at StandUp Ventures, is joined by Stephanie Mouchbahani-Constance, Principal at KLI Capital, for a live conversation on what founders need to know about fundraising in 2026.
Together, they unpack shifting investor expectations, AI-driven startup economics, changing growth benchmarks, defensibility, and the mistakes founders still make when raising capital. This episode offers a candid look inside the current venture market and how founders can better position themselves. They also discuss Canadian versus U.S. fundraising dynamics, healthtech go-to-market strategy, and what actually makes investors lean in or pass early.
Tune in for practical advice on telling a stronger story, running a sharper process, and standing out in an increasingly competitive market.
Recorded live at the Healthtech Social: Catalyst event on April 1 in Montreal.
