Hey fellow founders! 👋 Are you currently in the tough process of raising capital for your startup? I feel you, I’ve been through it all – the good, the bad, and the ugly. But fear not, I’m here to share some valuable tips that helped me raise over $3M in a predictable way.
Here are some key points to consider from my experience:
– Raising funds is one of the hardest things you’ll do in your career, but don’t get discouraged!
– Only 1% of startups get funded by VCs, so it’s crucial to know this statistic.
– Build a list of 100 investors in your industry – it’s a time-consuming task but worth it.
– Instead of relying solely on cold emails, focus on building warm intros with founders in similar industries.
– Connect with founders, offer them help, and ask for a warm intro to investors.
Through this method, I was able to secure my biggest round! Remember, building a strong network and generating FOMO is key in fundraising success.
So, if you’re struggling to connect with investors, try reaching out to fellow founders for warm intros. It can make a world of difference in your fundraising journey.
Good luck out there, and don’t give up! 💪 #NeverStopHustling
TLDR: reach out to the founders of investors portfolio, ask for a warm intro to their investor through them. Generate FOMO for the investors by saying that you are speaking with many funds.
