Fundraising can be scary and overwhelming, especially if this is your first time.

Do you find yourself struggling with the following fears?

• Not sure when is the right time to start fundraising. Start too late – risk going bankrupt. Start too early – lose time and investors’ credibility.
• Do not know where to find investors? Who, where and how? Hard to get a response if you don’t know anyone. Too many investors – how do you know whom to contact?
• Do not understand startup finance. SAFE, convertible debt and equity are all commonly used for startup finance. What vehicle do I choose? What will it mean for me? Not understanding the terms can make it impossible to raise future rounds of financing.
• Not sure what to have ready for fundraising. Pitch deck, financial model, but what else? If you don’t have your data room ready, investors will not take you seriously. Document requirements are different for different financing vehicles.
• Don’t understand what red flags to watch out for. Control & information rights, anti-dilution, liquidation preferences. If you don’t understand what you are agreeing to, you risk losing your company. 4 out of 5 founders lose control of their company.
