We had a really great conversation on the Autonomous Systems & Venture Capital panel yesterday at #XPONENTIAL! One of the questions asked was about how we help start-ups with fundraising. Tech companies and engineers (specifically) often want to communicate their story perfectly but struggle with sharing their product's future potential, focusing too much on its current state and hesitating to showcase their progress. The lack of a track record and digital presence poses a risk to their ability to move grow because investors are looking for evidence of past successes and a clear vision for the future. Joy Schoffler explained, "We work with a lot of technical companies and engineers, really helping get to the heart of what it is that you're doing, how you are helping, where you are going, and helping them to really back that up by talking through the 'why' and helping you frame your story better." For investors, it's crucial to see not just where a product stands now, but where it's headed. Without a well-articulated narrative, demonstrating potential growth—and thereby securing funding—becomes much more challenging. Our focus is on bridging this communication gap, ensuring that the transformative potential of your innovations is both understood and valued. Thank you for the opportunity to share these insights on the panel alongside Michael Novikov, James Cross, Brad Lunn, Gareth Keane, and Peter Shannon. #XPO2024 #TechStartUps #TipsForFundraising #DistinctiveEdge
