Navigating a successful capital raise is intense. And it could cost you millions in the future if your strategy isn’t on point.   I had an awesome chat with fundraising coach, and founder of Thim Ventures, Shosh Shetty   Shosh has spent nearly 15 years as an investor, operator, VC and leading an angel syndicate. He now works with founders on their fundraising strategy ⚙   Shosh talked about the importance of:   💡 Looking beyond just raising capital, and evaluating founder-investor fit 💡 Being time efficient with your raise 💡 Not rushing a deal through and compromising on terms 💡 Founders articulating the quantitative value of their proposition   Links to the conversation in comments below - have a listen!   #startups #fundraising #vc RevHire

Here’s the 1 thing that I wish more founders knew: When you receive VC funding, you are entering into a long-term relationship with your investor(s). In addition to providing them with investor updates and maintaining frequent communication, you will be receiving guidance and feedback. Just like VCs do their diligence on founders, you should do your diligence on VCs. If you couldn’t see yourself working with a potential investor, it’s better to not take their capital. #founders #startups #VC #fundraising #founderadvice Vivian Olodun, Dr. Tracy Timberlake, Seneca Williams "Entrepreneur Therapist", BEHIND THE LEAF INC, Flourish Media Co

Don't expect to get a single reason for why you were rejected for a VC investments. I have had a few conversations with founders who got a No from VCs, and when they mentioned the reason, or feedback, it always sounded like an excuse. My blunt and honest reply to those founders was: "Don't try to find a single reason, it is never just one things but a holistic decision that the VCs might not be able to clarify why". You can always go back to the VC and try to ask clarifying questions, but VCs typically will give you this high level reason that could not be the single reason why they rejected you. #VentureCapital #Rejection #Fundraising #Startups

A lot of founders with a great idea and potential struggle to raise funds. There are multiple ways you need to rethink about your fundraising pitch: 1. Target the right investors - Your sector of business might not be the point of interest for a lot of VCs. 2. Show a strong USP, Market Potential and scalability - Even if you have everything in your mind, articulating them on the pitch is a must. 3. Have a clear business model - No one will trust you with their own money unless you can show them a way out to multiply. 4. Stay open to change for good - There are times when you might need to pivot your business model for good. Instead of shutting down at some point, it is better to pivot the model when necessary. #startups #fundraising #vc #venturecapital #businessmodel
