A study conducted with 45 different VC firms managing several funds shows that you are 10.25 times more likely to get a term sheet if you come from a warm introduction. So, cold outreach could be a good complementary strategy and it helps build momentum, especially if you later get introduced to an investor you initially contacted through a cold reach out. However, keep this in mind for your efforts and try to connect with more founders, so once you're fundraising your network can support you in the hard task of raising funds. When you get a warm intro, think "This is 10 times more likely to succeed."..! #fundraising #venturecapital #entrepreneurship #startup #founders #network

The size of the fund matters when you are Fundraising. Avoid funds that are too large for the amount of money you’re raising.   If a fund has, let's say, $200 million, and you only need $1 million, you likely won’t receive their maximum attention— advice and help that could be critical to your success.   You’re just not big enough to justify their investing time in you when they have much bigger companies that also need their help.   On the other hand, if you ask for $5 million from a $150 million fund, you'll likely be more important to them.   They're more likely to give you ongoing support because your needs align better with the size of their fund.   So, it's like choosing a fund that's just the right size for what you're aiming to achieve.   #startups #entrepreneurship #venturecapital #investing #fundraising

𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲/ 𝗗𝗗 𝘁𝗶𝗽 #𝟱 Be very transparent throughout the DD process. Raising money is pretty tough as it is and sometimes there's a fear that being totally upfront about some issues will likely put an investor off. Although there might be a bit of truth in that, in my experience I've found that founders who are really upfront about some of the known challenges in their business give more confidence than if those issues are found throughout the process. This isn't 2021 anymore, most investors have a detailed DD process with 00s of questions and the likelihood is if there are issues in the business, they will come out in the wash, so best to be honest upfront about it. You will most often gain more respect through the process. Interested to know others' thoughts! #startups #preseed #fundraising #founders #venturecapital
