Raise Money? Make Money?

You’ve already gone all-in on your idea.

You’re building an early-stage startup.

The product is great for the environment.

You know that you can build a business around it… but you’ll need money and customers.

Which comes first? The money or the traction?

If you focus on building your customer base, then you’ll need to convince them that you can execute. Will you be able to execute on a bootstrapped budget?

Will they believe you if you say “This product can solve your problems?”

The first big strategic partnership is a unique sales cycle. The right customer needs to be a true partner.

Where are you in the sales & marketing process?

  • The prospect list is populated…

  • The MVP is ready to show…

  • The features and benefits are clear…

  • The ROI template is built…

  • How do I ASK for the deal?

Building the first customer relationships and getting them to contract is a full-time position. But you’ve got to pull this off while 110% of your attention is focused on your lack of capital.

If you focus on raising capital, then you’ll need to convince other people to trust you with their money. Will they believe you if you don’t have customer traction? And are you ready to ask them for a check?

Will they believe you if you say “This is a great investment?”

No one starts a business because they want to raise capital. But here you are and it needs to happen.

Where are you in the fundraising process?

  • The value prop…

  • The pitch deck…

  • The investor list…

  • The pro forma financials…

  • How do I ASK for money?
