It's Friday again so I'm sharing the video for Funding by Alex (don't forget to check out my other channel FMCG by Alex where I post not 1 but 2 videos weekly). Today I want to share what to expect when you fundraise as I am getting a lot of questions from business owners and first time founders on how quickly you can expect the money to be in the bank. Truth be told, this is different every time but it won't be overnight for sure. I've been involved in fundraising for various startups and have done a number of other deals for more established companies totalling over $200 million (and counting) so I've been around the block a few times. I can tell you angel investors can make a decision quickly but timing is of essence while the VC and PE funds usually have more manpower to invest the time in vetting opportunities. The words "easy" and "fast" do not exist in fundraising as it's about building trust, confidence in the idea and the team and the timing you pick for all of this. I hope this simple 101 video is helpful for those who wonder about what to expect. https://lnkd.in/eEdCQKbr #fundingbyalex #alexdevries #funding #fundraising #venturecapital #investors #investments #privateequity #capitaladvisory
