Founder: “I’m already in conversations with five investors, so I wanna see how that goes first before looking for other avenues.” ❌ ❌
Why this is a mistake and how to de-risk your raise:
– Investors keep conversations going to build their pipeline, but it doesn’t mean they will invest in your company. Maybe they invest now. Maybe they will invest in the future. Maybe they will never invest.
– It can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to see money in the bank. Do you have the cash flow to wait?
– What if after the 6 months they pass? Do you have a plan B?
IT’S WAY TOO RISKY AND STRESSFUL to raise capital like this!
Five ways to de-risk the raise:
1. Don’t rely on a few investors to close your round.
2. Have as many conversations as possible with different investors. Before, during and after the raise.
3. Get an intelligent deal room that provides you insights into the most engaged investors so you can focus your attention on them first. (We use CRIISP- DM if interested)
4. Try to get the faster YES or NO by having all the information well organised and easily accessible
5. Attract investors via presentations, conferences, events, webinars.

It sits within the broader industrial software and Asset Performance Management market, where predictive maintenance is one application among several, and can be deployed on premises, at the edge or in airgapped environments where operational data cannot leave the site.
It looks like a fund with no thesis. It is not really a fund.
An umbrella fund structure holds multiple single-purpose sub-funds, each with its own unit class and segregated assets held in the trustee’s name. Investors select an individual project rather than acquiring exposure to the whole portfolio, which means they carry concentrated exposure to that project and do not obtain diversification across the fund’s other investments.
What they took out paid for the production line
Flint’s paper battery is usually described by what it removes. Carlo Charles’s even more interesting point is that removing the materials also removed a lot of machinery, and that is why two products reached production on roughly US$4 million. Asked what is inside his battery, Carlo Charles starts with what is not. No lithium. No […]
