If you’re a first-time founder looking to raise capital in the near future, here are things you can action RIGHT NOW: 

1) Check out AirTree‘s list of investors in Australia: https://lnkd.in/gEnRK3KT

2) Decide what kind of investors you’d like to speak to and read as much as you can about the work they’re passionate about

3) When you reach out to them, don’t talk about fundraising, instead make the note personal to their background and tell them why you want to connect 

4) Build a relationship with them by demonstrating why you’re good at what you do and how easy you are to work with

2-3 months before you open the round, tell them that you’re exploring the idea of opening a fundraising round 

Start this process AS SOON AS YOU CAN, preferably at least 6-12 months before you open your round. 

To prepare your documents and get yourself raise-ready, check out Cake‘s Fundraising Toolkit here: https://lnkd.in/gHpnZfj7 

If you’re looking to scale your reach into the HNW, sophisticated bracket beyond your current network of family and friends, reach out to Wholesale Investor and consider using CRIISP to leverage AI matchmaking and manage the raise.
