Raising money is a huge challenge. To be able to raise any money at all, you must first understand how investors think.
This specific course covers how a post-seed and pre-Series A investor analyzes startups and what they are looking for. We will have in-depth conversation around startups and funding with a real-world investor.
Designed for tech entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs interested in the post-seed and pre-Series A stages of financing startups, this course provides some insights into the minds of investors operating in this space for many years very successfully.
A fundable and proven business is essential if you want introductions to angels and VCs.
The reality is less than 1% of businesses are fundable. What that means is more than 99% of the entrepreneurs waste their energy on pitching their unfundable businesses to investors. Hugely unproductive and unhealthy.
There is a reason why savvy entrepreneurs have been using the Bootstrap First, Raise Money Later strategy.
Learn bootstrapping, which is a proven financing approach for a tech company until it has validated its product with paying customers. Study various types of bootstrapping and combine them to your liking. Choose those that are the most suitable for you. Apply the methodology.
Only when you bootstrap to validation, should you think about outside capital. Get to know how investors think, so you can speak their language and attain that elusive holy grail of investor-entrepreneur fit. This course is a first step to understanding the complex world of startup funding.
All my courses are based on The 1Mby1M Methodology. This course is designed to assist you very specifically with the fundraising stage of your business. Take courses in any order you wish, combine them as needed, but do not skip out on learning. You’ll be a lot more productive.
