Episode Details

Produced by Foundersuite.com, "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders who have raised capital. This episode is with Kasper Kubica and David Spratte of Carpe Lotion. Carpe makes an antiperspirant lotion created to stop sweaty hands. The company recently raised $2.3 million of seed funding in a deal co-led by Carolina Angel Network and Duke Angel Network. LaunchCapital, Rubicon Venture Capital, Seth Radwell and Triangle Angel Partners also participated in the round. In this episode, Kasper and David talk about starting a business while in college, pitching investor groups like Duke Angel Network and the Carolina Angel Network, raising capital for a startup that doesn't really "fit" into any category, tag-teaming the pitch, and more.
