Raising capital is a balancing act. On the one hand, you receive funding that can expedite growth. Conversely, you lose equity and risk losing your company if you don’t play your cards right. What should business owners understand about raising startup money? What are the investor expectations if they help you jumpstart a product or service?
CleverProfit’s Matt Smith and Jean-Luc “JL” Johnstone share their take on raising capital and making investors happy. We discuss what it means for your business if investors pour money into it and explain the different rounds of fundraising. We discuss what S.A.F.E. Notes are and their risks and advantages. We describe the difference between bootstrapping and fundraising and what you can learn from both. Matt and Jean-Luc also share their takes on the economy, where we’re heading, and the fundraising challenges many startup businesses are encountering in the post-pandemic world.
“The more money you have, the faster you can grow.” – Jean-Luc Johnstone
