I’m currently raising funds to accelerate my brand's growth and capture the national market.
I’m keeping the specifics for my "insider" feed, but essentially, I’m combining business angels, state loans, bank loans, and grants.
I have one business angel confirmed and two or three others in serious discussions. I still need a few more to fully secure the financing plan.
I’m running behind schedule and need to close the deal quickly due to cash flow and time constraints.
I’ve already reached out to all the prospects in my network.
I’m looking for a way to make an announcement—likely on LinkedIn—to find the remaining investors fast. Has anyone here done something similar?
Do you have any suggestions on how to be original and stand out from the crowd?
I've never done it through LinkedIn and as an investor would rarely consider (if ever) anything I see on LinkedIn as an opportunity.
it boils down to three Ts:
1. Triangulation - a person looking to invest into a venture like yours to find you, and for you to find someone you want to take money from.
2. Transfer - once two willing parties are connected, there then must be a transfer of funds in exchange for security (ownership / debt)
3. Trust - both you need to trust that money is clean and investor is good people, and they need to trust you are a good person, operator, entrepreneur. It isn't as easy at is sounds.
This is why you have dealers, they have lists of accredited investors looking for opportunities and they underwrite those deals by doing research into companies like yours. They charge a solid 8-12% for every dollar they bring to you, but they exist to help with 3Ts.
Hope this helps.
Anyone supplementing with creatine?
10g a day, for over a year. It's amazing what it does for mind clarity (and it helps at the gym). Probably one of the most underestimated supplements I know.
