Pipeline coverage is a sales concept that we often recommend to founders: maintain a high ratio (e.g. 10:1) of investable dollars in the pipeline to your target raise. That way, when investors inevitably pull out, you don't have to scramble to replace them. This week we sat down with Iliyas Issatayev to discuss his $1.3 million seed fundraise for Hero's Journey. Iliyas offers a lot of practical advice for founders who are fundraising. Given the market conditions, we've heard more instances of investors pulling out after soft committing, so make sure you have enough coverage to account for unforeseen changes.

e-residency news - fund your business! This is the link how to find funds for your business. https://lnkd.in/dBwU9BSj I hear from my clients "where can I get funds to support first stages of my business development?" I tell them "as accountant, I don't know much about fundraising, but I give you some links", and usually it's a list of various sources. But from now on e-residency team has put everything in one place. There you can find your investors, creditors, business-partners, mentors, incubators and other fundraising programs. World is full of money, but you have to work harder to get funds nowadays. Your project should be ready, your team is completed, your product earns, and the most important - your product must be very valuable, rare, maybe even unique and needed. #eresidency #eresidencyestonia #businessestonia #investments #funds #fundraising #fundyourbusiness

A Guide on Raising Money the Right Way: The Dos and Don'ts of VC Fundraising Don't Be a Rookie When Fundraising: - Connect on a personal level to make VCs fall in love with your idea. - Skip the NDAs, as VCs respect your uniqueness and avoid conflicts of interest. - Avoid mass emails and spam, opt for thoughtful and personalized outreach. - Accept the final "no" from VCs, it usually means it's a "no." - Don't ask for referrals after a rejection, it puts them in an uncomfortable position. - Surround yourself with a team, solo founders face challenges in fundraising. - Don't over-rely on patents, especially in software businesses. #startups #entrepreneurship #venturecapital #investing #caovaisshah
