Jeff discusses the importance of keeping equity in a business, especially for beginning entrepreneurs. Mercer agrees, emphasizing the mistake of giving away equity without proper vesting or guarantees. Both suggest using cash or leverage to compensate for help rather than giving away equity. 5:38: Investing in private companies and non-traditional funding methods. Jeff discusses the pros and cons of loaning money to a business, highlighting the potential for high returns but also the risk of failure. Jeff prefers to invest in private companies, specifically in the early stages, to maximize their potential for an outsized return. Jeff discusses the concept of investment in a business, including the idea that contributions can be valued and counted as investments, not just cash. He provides an example of how coaching a business owner for free can increase the business's value, with the coach potentially owning a percentage of the business as a result. 10:36: Entrepreneurship, investment, and growth strategies. Mercer suggests that small business owners should focus on building a profitable, well-structured business before seeking outside investment. Jeff believes that outside investment can be a bad idea for small businesses, as it can lead to inefficient capital use and weaken the business. Mercer agrees that product market fit is crucial before seeking investment, and views angel investment as a lottery ticket. 13:36: Investment for business growth and timeline extension. Jeff believes investment can extend or shorten the timeline to achieving business goals, depending on the type of investment. Mercer adds that understanding your business machinery, including numbers and operations, can make it easier to get outside investment. Also having a plan and operating according to it can make it easier to get investment, from both angel investors and government programs. 16:20: Investing in businesses and cash flow. Jeff invests in companies with a 10x vision, prioritizing belief in the founder's ability to execute. He diversifies investments across cash flow businesses, hedging bets through group buys and cash flow investments. He invests in businesses through networking and trust, focusing on people with something to prove and a track record of success. Mercer asks about the hierarchy of investing, with Jeff prioritizing cash flow and conversion rates in their investments. 20:52: Funding options for a business with cash flow issues. Founders should consider various funding options, including personal loans and outside investment, to address cash flow issues. Jeff is considering an outside investment for equity in his business but wants to keep control and timeline in mind. He is fine with having a clock tick on his business but needs to think about the implications before acting. 23:58: The importance of understanding a business model in the current investment climate. Mercer highlights the importance of understanding a business model, citing the example of WeWork's failed IPO. Mercer and Jeff discuss the shift in investor sentiment towards profitability, with Mercer expressing a mix of agreement and skepticism. 26:41: Investment strategies in a post-pandemic economy. Investors are now more selective and discerning due to higher interest rates, prioritizing profitable businesses with sustainable growth. Focusing on growing profits instead of just revenue, with a balance between new leads and stability, is key for businesses in this market. Investors are looking for solid valuations and cash-generating businesses, rather than overpaying for unprofitable ones. Mercer emphasizes the importance of having a compelling story to attract investors and choosing an investor who can help grow the business. He highlights the benefits of getting outside investment in a business, including increasing valuation and shortening the timeline to exit. Jeff provides a personal perspective on considering outside investment, prioritizing the need for stable cash flow, and a clear plan for using the investment.

"Ein Business Angel hat zwei Flügel: Das Kapital, das die Investorin ins Business einbringt, sowie das Wissen und die Erfahrung, die eine solche Investorin mitbringt." Untersuchungen haben ergeben, dass von Frauen geführte Unternehmen langfristig erfolgreicher sind. Warum ist es dennoch so, dass sich in Investorenkreisen immer noch geschlechtsspezifische Vorurteile halten, die derzeit männlich geführte Start-Ups begünstigen? Zu diesem Thema habe ich Anna Fedulow eingeladen. Sie ist die Gründerin von Croton Capital, einem internationalen Syndikat von Business Angels, die in junge und innovative Unternehmen investieren. Ihre Mission ist es, Start-ups mit unterrepräsentierten Gründerteams zu unterstützen und mehr Frauen zu ermutigen, Investorinnen zu werden. Diese Podcast-Episode ist speziell für dich, wenn du auf der Suche nach einem vielfältigen Netzwerk von Business Angels bist. Anna gibt uns außerdem wertvolle Tipps rund um das Angel Investment, insbesondere für angehende weibliche Business Angels. Welche Rolle spielt zum Beispiel die Diversität des Start-up-Teams für den langfristigen Erfolg des Unternehmens? Was hat es mit dem wachsenden Trend des Impact Investing auf sich? Und wie können wir mehr Nachhaltigkeit und soziale Verantwortung als Business Angels in unseren Investitionsvorhaben praktizieren? Bist du auch überzeugt, dass wir mehr weibliche Investorinnen brauchen und dass wir - aus gutem Grund - mehr Frauen in Entscheidungspositionen bei Investmentfonds bringen müssen? Dann hör dir unbedingt diese Folge an.

No investors wanted to “touch the business with a barge pole” fourteen years ago, when the company was started by Cindy, due to fear of being associated with SexTech. However, Cindy saw an opportunity in the market. She feels sex is essentially a recession-proof industry and the niche of “socially acceptable” sex, which normalises it and allows people to publicly share sex and advocate for this is needed in society.Cindy managed to get one private angel investor to invest $3 million. Things are slightly better now than 14 years ago thankfully, but there have still been many challenges due to restrictions around marketing and other elements. The longer-term goal for the business is to create “sex education” content in collaboration with experts through the platform. She's currently raising investment to achieve this ambition.In this episode, you'll discover:How to be resilient when raising investmentWhy you need to market yourself and your brand constantly to raise successfullyWhy the investors who get it, will champion you in every way!

Jan Böhmermann beschimpft Frank Thelen als Furzgesicht. Das würden wir nie sagen. Was macht ein Growth Hacker? Was ist die Definition eines Influencers? Was kann man machen, wenn das investierte Business Angel Geld veruntreut wurde? Ist Werbung ein gesamtgesellschaftliches Minusgeschäft? Wie findet Pip wir 360 DigiTech?
