Low fundraising numbers might empower limited partners. Our 2023 Annual Global Private Market Fundraising Report shows a 48.4% decline in fund counts, mainly influenced by LP anxieties regarding insufficient portfolio exits and fluctuations in VC valuations. However, the challenging fundraising landscape is expected to ease in 2024 as the on-paper denominator effect approaches its conclusion. In the upcoming year, the fundraising realm will be under the control of LPs. Stay tuned for more updates on the private market fundraising landscape. #fundraising #privateequity #LPs

Fund raising is not the goal, the goal is for the business to start making money, that’s what will keep the business going and return the investors funds. Founders should know that raised funds should be treated with a lot of respect and prudence. You can’t start paying yourself what you are worth until the business starts making money.

119 Investors have said No to me, 4 have said Yes. We are currently fundraising. We have just $100K left in our round, and this is what it took to get here: -9 months of Networking and Conversations -Over 500 cold messages via LinkedIn -123 Conversations with Investors -4 Yes's. I don't know if I am good or bad at fundraising, but I do know that sharing these data points gives founders a reference point. Nothing tests your confidence or belief like fundraising. Keep pushing.

There are thousands of founders out there looking to raise funding at MVP stage, pre-revenue stage. This strategy is generally not good if you want to raise round at your valuation and terms (which can happen only when you attract interest from multiple investors) In this post, I break down, how you need to be prepared for your fundraise at early stages if you want to raise the round without diluting too much equity.

As part of #GlobalEntrepreneurshipWeek, we are highlighting two principles from The Five Principles of Angel Pitches. "Maintain Credibility" and "Pitching Is A Process". Earning an investor’s trust means consistently presenting a reliable, grounded image, and understanding that raising funds isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon. "Seemingly minor things can take on disproportionate importance... Your defense is to present a credible picture throughout your fundraising journey." And as you engage, remember: Pitching Is A Process — each interaction builds momentum on your journey to win investor confidence. #HowToPitch #EntrepreneurshipJourney

I am going through Peter H. Diamandis' program called Fund your Purpose. Every founder knows you are never NOT raising money in some form or another. Sometimes from investors, sometimes from customers. This is a great re-setting for me so I can get anchored back on why I am focused on building Alchemy Industrial into a unique manufacturing business. It's worth going through it! #manufacturing #MFHouston https://lnkd.in/e5irUV3T
