We went from startup school, to participating in techcrunch battlefield NY 2017.[1]
We were clueless to what to expect or how all this works, but through the guidance and many one on ones with our instructor we were able to manage it.
The course prepared us for meeting with investors, helped us with how to deal with the first rounds of investments (first money can be overwhelming) and how to do the non scalable things early on. It was definitely a useful course.
Also, being on a video call every week, listening to 20+ plus other people's business can be very valuable. Problems that seemed unique to us and unsolvable were solved with a quick chat with someone who already went through it.

Any way, i'll write a post about it eventually. In the meanwhile here is our presentation for Renly: https://www.startupschool.org/presentations/435
