Whether you’re planning to raise money for the first time the fourth time or the fourteenth time, there is one constant: every raise is different.
What are the terms - Common shares, preferred shares, convertible notes or SAFEs?
What type of investor are you dealing with - friends & family, angels, strategic investors, family offices, venture funds or private equity firms?
What is the amount of the raise? $500,000 looks a lot different than $50 million.
There are also major differences based on the current economic climate - investment alternatives have shifted and the competitive landscape has altered.
The best thing you can do is to be prepared. Nothing slows a deal down more than a company that isn’t ready to answer questions from an investor. Taking a bit of time now may save you a lot of time when you’re ready to raise. Investment deals often slow down during the summer, making for the best time to get your company aligned to raise money in the second half of the year.
Join Mike Reid and Maneesha Dakha for an interactive seminar to dig into the preparatory steps to get your company ready to raise your next round of financing.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
Financing instruments and which type is right for you
Current market terms you can be prepared for
Typical timelines for various investment rounds
Common areas of concern to clean up before the raise
