Your friendly neighborhood conference lady was glad to be back in action at the MIT Entrepreneurship through Acquisition Summit! This is Allegra Stennett, co-founder of New Majority Capital, an impact search fund that helps BIPOC entrepreneurs to purchase companies instead of start them. Her session was the only room at the whole conference that mentioned employee ownership as a pathway to address the racial wealth gap. The needle is moving in the finance world and we are the ones to move it! ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻💜 #employeeownership #eta #mergersandacquisitions #entrepreneurship #womeninbusiness #wealthcreation #wealthgap #impactinvesting #mit

I’ve had the good fortune of working with a number of companies over the years who have had successful capital raises, both during my time in M&A as an Investment Banker as well as working with our clients at Inflammo. I could probably write a post about the 99 things you should do for a successful capital raise. But this is not that post. This post is the one thing you shouldn’t do. Entrepreneurs, if you’re planning on raising capital, don’t wait until you have to. That is all. #entrepreneurship #cheerstothejourney

The biggest mistake that founders make before an important pitch is putting all their effort into the deck. I've seen good pitches fall flat due to poor presentation skills. On the flip side, I've seen average ideas gain traction just because they were delivered in an engaging and confident way. **Don't underestimate the power of good presentation skills.** 🗣️✨ Presenting well keeps listeners engaged, while a boring pitch loses them. #publicspeaking #pitchdeck #investorpitch #founders  #venturecapital #pitching #fundraising #pitch4impact #innovation #entrepreneurship
