Keys to a Successful Raise
Investor Mindset
If you don’t understand the Investor Mindset, you can’t possibly know how to pitch to them. What investors want to see in reality is COUNTER-INTUITIVE and against everything you have likely been told by friends, advisors, and even pitching experts without real investor and fundraising experience.
Founder Storytelling
Unless you exited your last company, you have a Tier1 investor lead, or $2m ARR in 12 months from launch with path to profitability, without the skills of storytelling, it’s going to be nearly-impossible to break through the noise and grab an investor’s attention - especially now, in 2024.
Fundraisability & Funnel Math
If you don’t understand fundraisability and funnel math, you won’t be able to systemize and lead a predictable fundraise. Successful fundraising is mainly about MAXIMISING your conversion rate.
