KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Entrepreneurs should engage an attorney as early as possible to avoid costly legal and financial mistakes. Whether raising capital or structuring a business, having the right legal and financial team in place is an investment that pays off.
- Many entrepreneurs struggle with securing funding because they lack the right team, get impatient, or fail to leverage their existing networks. Building a solid support system, understanding that capital raising is a marathon, and using personal and professional connections strategically can significantly increase the chances of success.
- Under-resourced entrepreneurs should partner with aligned organizations to avoid reinventing the wheel. Mission-driven entrepreneurs should focus on building a supportive community that can evolve, making it easier to raise capital and grow their ventures.
