How did you raise your first funding round?

Hi there, I’m a founder, with revenue, product, a strong team and 6 months of runway. I’m out now to fund-raise, and I’m interested in understanding the behind the scene process of fund-raising, in as much detail as possible, I never met an investor, and I don’t have the network for intros, and I’m not sure where to start.

Please share as many details as you can, how you get your meetings, intros, and how did you prepare, How important is the location (I’m based in Canada), how long did it take, what’s really important, what did you learn, if you can share screenshots, timelines, tools used, anything is much appreciated.
