The most efficient way to connect with investors is through an introduction from the founders. They have already done the work you're about to do and they have built relationships with investors. We encourage you to invest time and effort to find and connect with founders who recently raised money in your space. One of our bootcamp participants: "Had a great meeting with one founder today. This guy closed the round last year at more than a million. He promised to do intros to investors. In short, one meeting with the right founder brings 10 good intros. For sure, this is much more effective than bombing cold letters by email"

If you are an early-stage founder who is planning to raise money in 2024, that’s the first thing you need to do right now. Connect with 10 founders who have recently (in the past year) raised money. Ideally in the same industry as you, but not direct competitors. Connect with them, get them on a call, build relationships, and ask for 3 warm intros to their investors. 10 calls with founders will give you 30 warm investors in your pipeline, making already half of the funnel you need for your round.

Black and brown founders have an extra hard road to walk down in America. Resiliance is a cornerstone of this journey and, none-the-less, many founders close down because they cannot find a path forward. #equity #resiliance #bias #courage #alpha #wiseInvestors #ChloeCapital #womenfundingtheworld #diversitymatters
Resilience is the cornerstone of every founder's journey. When we raised our Series A, we pitched to 60 funds and received just one term sheet. It's the strength to keep going, not the number of rejections, that defines success.

Founder of PitchDoctor and ex VC (Icebreaker, Creandum, LocalGlobe) I help founders get 10x better at pitching venture capitalists. Follow me for posts about startups, and fundraising.
Investors are like people you're trying to date. They can smell desperation. And desperate is a huge turn off. No matter how bleak your fundraise has been. Or how close your company is to the edge. Avoid coming across, like your life depends on the person you're pitching saying yes. Or like the fundraise has sapped all your energy. It leads to rejection. It's not fair but who said fundraising was fair?

The Business Accelerator - Faster Growth for Businesses - More Time. More Money. Less Stress. More Quickly
Many founders think their funding round will succeed based on the strength of their pitch deck. It won’t. The real work is in preparation: • Vetting your business for readiness. • Building relationships with the right investors. • Anticipating questions and concerns before they’re raised. A great pitch only works when the foundation is solid. Fundraising is a marathon, not a sprint—get your preparation right.
