Fundraising is a time sink, and while you’re out raising capital, your competitors are out hiring the best talent, winning customers, and gaining critical competitive ground.
This is why it’s critical to have a strategy in place for your capital raise.
Your fundraising strategy should be adjusted and constantly refined based on the stage of your startup, your performance, your industry, macroeconomic factors, and investor sentiment, among other factors.
Most importantly, your cap raising strategy should align with your startup’s business model and its consequent equity, debt, and working capital requirements, as well as limitations.
Here are 5 questions you can ask yourself to get started with your own strategy:
1. How will I deploy the capital raised?
2. What is the minimum and maximum ticket size I’m willing to accept from an investor?
3. What will investors ask about most frequently? (hint: prepare an FAQ doc)
4. What kind of investors am I looking for?
5. What are investors looking for in companies they are willing to invest in?
See comments below for links to previous posts I’ve shared to help you answer questions 4 and 5.

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 […]
