Why is Kraus speaking at All Stage?

Because he has devoted his career to helping founders overcome obstacles.

Kraus launched his first business during college and hasn’t looked back. Through Prepare 4 VC, he has supported thousands of early-stage entrepreneurs globally in honing their pitches, validating their markets, and preparing for investor meetings. He is also a partner at the EQx Fund and Equity Venture Partners, guiding founders in pursuing new and often underutilized funding avenues.

Moreover, Kraus’ impact goes beyond financing strategies. He is a pivotal figure in founder communities such as Startup Grind Boston, Startup Weekend, and the Startup Oasis Network, and he developed the Breakthrough Program, a 10-week initiative designed to help founders surmount execution hurdles and achieve genuine traction.

In short: Kraus has a knack for converting early-stage uncertainty into productive progress. His book “Venture Forward” distills valuable lessons from the startup landscape, emphasizing a founder-first perspective.
