“I need a way to get in front of good investors…” To Say What? Get to the back of the Queue!

Fund raising rules 1. Preparation “facebook” 300 million = break even 2. Refer to Rule 1

“One Man Band” You can’t do it alone Complementary Skills in a Team

“But I need money to be able to afford anyone else coming in with me….” Not true! You need people before cash

“HOW WILL OUR PRODUCT ENHANCE THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IN A WAY THAT WILL IMPLEMENT ‘DRAMATIC DIFFERENCES’ (not incremental) FROM ANY COMPETITOR SO THAT WE CAN CAPTURE CUSTOMERS, BUILD OUR BRAND…. AND GENERATE ‘HIGH GROWTH’ ?”

The magic ingredient to successful equity fund raising is…..

Tell a story so compelling that listeners are hooked from the first 10 seconds….

Video conference on your mobile phone with 7 people for a fraction of the cost of a mobile call using SMS
