Imagine this 🧠 You've just closed a funding round. The champagne's on ice, and you're riding high on the promise of what's to come. But here's the million-dollar question (quite literally): Are you fully prepared to maximize the impact of your fundraise announcement? Even seasoned founders can sometimes overlook the full potential of this pivotal moment. It's not just about broadcasting that you've got cash in the bank - it's a rare opportunity to tell your story, attract talent, and get on the radar of potential customers and future investors. Rohit Kaul from Blume Ventures recently sat down with two marketing pros - Bilal M., a PR veteran who's guided over 700+ funding announcements, and Sairam Krishnan, the marketing mastermind behind Atomicwork's seed round splash - to learn their earned secrets. Here's a taste of what they revealed: • The $100k opportunity: That's the value of the attention you can grab with a well-executed fundraise announcement. • The "news bonanza" strategy: Forget drip-feeding information. Create a tidal wave of content that keeps your startup in the conversation for weeks. • Crafting irresistible narratives: Discover why your technical achievements might be putting journalists to sleep, and how to spin a story that even non-tech publications will fight to cover. • Damage control 101: News leaks happen. Find out how to turn a potential PR nightmare into an opportunity. • Examples from folks who aced their fundraise announcements such as Rocketlane, Atomicwork, GrowthSchool, Atlan, Sprinto, and more. Whether you're gearing up for your first seed round or prepping for a hefty Series C, this article is packed with earned secrets that could make the difference between a forgettable funding footnote or a game-changing moment for your startup.

How to build a huge following in the startup world? There are 6 very effective strategies. My personal favorite is “#4 - Bash in Public”. This strategy is surprisingly simple. Over 95% of the startups don’t get funded by VCs and Angels. The harder you criticise the investors, the stronger you resonate with your audience. That’s 95% of the TAM! Some examples you can try: - They are so conservative and don’t take any risk - They invested in <insert bad company name> LOL - This one didn’t even invest in Canva LOL - This one made money from Canva, but only indirectly via Blackbird LOL Don’t believe me? I posted my first bash and added 50 new connections within 24 hours. That’s more than 2 connections per hour, amazing! In my up and coming eBook, I will detail the other 5 strategies. Plus the ways you can monetise your audience once you become a huge influencer. It is important that you listen to an ex Rich Lister like myself re monetisation strategies than some rando on the internet. Comment “eBook” below and get ready for a treat when it is ready.

20 months ago, he wanted to start a new venture but lacked a way to validate his business idea. Since then, he: - Reached 1M+ founders, executives, and investors on LinkedIn - Accumulated 350+ biz ideas and locked in on 1 But this wasn't by coincidence. Here’s how we helped Frederik Fleck blow up on LinkedIn (and beyond:) ___ Frederik is a serial entrepreneur and business angel with experience funding startups like Instacart and Close CRM. When we met, he wanted to start a new venture and needed an audience to: • Prep for GTM • Validate his ideas • Expand his network Frederik realized that a lot of relevant stakeholders were spending time on LinkedIn… …but he had zero presence nor strategy to produce content for it. He needed help getting things off the ground and discovering the potential of the platform. So, I took him through our notus Personal Brand Sprint:: 1.) Foundations & Strategy We hosted an Unlock Workshop + Deep Dive Interview to discuss his: • Story • Vision • Expertise • Background We used these responses to develop his content strategy: The Content Archetype. Some of his content pillars included: • How to Angel Invest • Topics re: Business Idea • Macro/Micro Industry Trends • Portfolio Company Break-downs Posting about these topics helped us fuel his credibility & position him as an experienced entrepreneur & investor. Then, we moved on to… 2.) The Profile Revamp We turned Frederik's profile into a landing page. His LinkedIn tagline, bio, banner, and Featured section were opportunities to position him in front of potential startups. We took advantage of this free real estate to: - Showcase the case studies that add to his credibility - Give his brand a consistent look and feel - Give people a reason to follow him Now, Frederik was ready for… 3.) The Content Sprint We hosted Content Calls  1-3x per quarter to: • Ask specific questions based on Archetype and target audience • Turn his responses into content outlines Frederik edited and published these outlines after giving his final approval. His intro post went viral, and his account quickly took off. 4.) The Result Since starting to work together 20 months ago, he: - Grew his following to 9k - Got tons of feedback & alpha testers for a new venture - Recruited an employee and talked to a potential co-founder It's been amazing working with him up until today (and tbc) LinkedIn has become Frederik’s most important marketing channel. And Frederik has become a very valuable mentor and friend of mine. He's coaching me now to become a better leader, CEO, and entrepreneur. Frederik, I'm grateful for the opportunity to build relationships with visionary minds like yourself. PS. Frederik has just launched a new Startup and is documenting the process on LinkedIn.
