Biggest Capital Raise Mistake - Going Through the Process Alone...

Getting an assist from those that have been there makes a significant difference.

At the growth-stage, you cannot outsource the entire capital raise. It simply does not work.

However, you absolutely CAN get help from professionals to optimize aspects of your company’s capital raise process.

Doing so can lead to more success, with less time, at an ultimately lower overall cost. You don’t have to do it alone.

You Don’t Have an Investor Rolodex Problem - You Have a Fundability Problem

Optimism can Sometimes be a Trap

Many entrepreneurs working through an institutional capital raise optimistically operate under the dangerous ‘Myth of More Investors.’

The foundation of the myth is that the only thing a growth-stage entrepreneur raising capital needs to focus on is meeting more and more investors.

Need Capital? Start Thinking Like a Capital Provider

Understanding what investors are looking for, how they think, and how best to engage them is the proven path to success.

Very few people were born into this world great at raising investor capital. Unfortunately, however, investors both expect and demand that Founders excel at the task of raising capital. The problem is that very few Founders think like an investor, or even know how to.

Oftentimes, Founders simply lack the necessary investment expertise to effectively position the business for investors. In most cases, this leads to a lengthy, unorganized capital process – wasting significant time and investor money.
