Fundraising is a process.
Immersion
Understand the current market
There is cash on offer, but investors are cautious. Valuations are down and less deals are closing. You’ll start by understanding how investors think, and their motivations.
The right funding option for you
Work through the numerous funding options you have for your business. Weigh up the pros and cons of each, and select your preferred way to raise.
Your Story
Create a compelling story
Focus on the investor’s angle, show you can return the entire VC fund, and how.
Create your investor pack
The deck and supporting documents. These are essential. You'll leave with everything you need. From first contact to term sheet and deal closing.
Prepare your financials
You need to be able to talk confidently about your numbers. Build your financial storyline – like your company story, but financially focused. Traction, sales, projections – everything.
