🟢 UCS Advisors' Green Nugget Advisory Tip: Think Outside the Box for Finding Investors 🟢 Hey, founders! Here’s an out-of-the-box idea for your capital-raising journey. Have you ever considered connecting with CPAs, lawyers, or professionals in adjacent markets to your business? These individuals often have extensive networks and can introduce you to potential investors who don’t necessarily hold the investor title. Don’t limit your search to people within your specific industry. Broaden your outreach and think creatively about where you can find support and investment.

Far too often we speak with founders who say they need X amount of money, and when we ask: what are you willing to give up for that, their answer is: Whatever the investor would want for it I guess... Oy! This is YOUR business. You need to have some terms you're willing to negotiate with. A smart fund will always have its terms outlined so that it can discuss with an investor what that partnership will look like. Do NOT put all the power onto the investor to determine what they'll take. Because they'll always take what's favorable for them. #capitalraising #founders #investorrelations

It’s about turning those good intentions into tangible results, driving your business forward, and achieving the success you envision.
