How To Build Momentum in Your Fundraise Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Fundraising has its ups and downs, including long patches of slow-paced activity. Here are some key steps in building momentum for your fundraiser. Always break the total fundraising into smaller rounds. This makes the raise manageable from the start. Do the easy ones first. Investors who know you and believe in the deal will sign up the quickest. With those signups, you now have money in the deal. Use this to spur the momentum to other investors who are not yet ready to invest. Show why the other investors joined the round. Strive to reach the halfway point. From there, the optics on the deal will look better to the prospective investor. The risk of the deal not getting funded goes way down. Build a list of interested and committed investors. Assign an amount to each one and map them out on the remaining portion to be raised. Show all of them how this will close the round. For the remaining investors on the list, give them a deadline and push them to pass. This takes them off your list and lets you focus on closing the interested and committed investors. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let’s go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: Check out our other podcasts here: For Investors check out: For Startups check out: For eGuides check out: For upcoming Events, check out For Feedback please contact [email protected] Please , share, and leave a review.
