Investors Want Optionality Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Investors follow many startups before investing. They stall in making an investment to be certain it's a good one. They look for additional information about the startup, its product, and market before making a final decision. Investors want optionality. They want to have as many options available as possible. This gives them a better return on their investment. Many investors drop out of a deal without telling the founder. They want the option of coming back in if the deal turns out to gain traction or momentum later. This leads many founders to chase investors who have basically said no to the deal. Founders should ask for the investors' status on the deal. Are you interested? If so, how much are you considering investing? Assuming an investor is interested without confirmation is a dangerous situation. Once the investor decides on a deal to fund, they typically say no to other deals in the running. Gain clarity with prospective investors about investing in your startup. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

One and Done Is Not Going To Work Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising funding, the founder will need to follow up with the investor to close. After the pitch, some founders send one email to follow up. The one-and-done approach to follow up will not work. It takes multiple follow-ups and outreach to close an investor. The investor is searching for more evidence that the startup will be successful. This could be information around the growth of the market, the productivity of the technology, or the strength of the team, to name a few. Continue to give regular updates to the investor with a focus on traction and market adoption. It takes seven touches to close a sale, so it takes seven touches to close an investor. Budget time and resources for the follow-up effort. Set up systems such as a CRM to provide updates to the investors following the deal. Set up follow-up calls and meetings to showcase the results of the business. It takes time to follow up, but that's where the results come in. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Volkswagen denkt laut einem Bericht über ein konzernweites Sparprogramm nach: Bis Ende 2028 sollen die Kosten demnach um 20 Prozent sinken. Als Gründe werden unter anderem die US-Zollpolitik, eine Flaute in China und ein schwieriges Wettbewerbsumfeld genannt; sogar Werksschließungen könnten zur Debatte stehen. Parallel sorgt eine Zahl im Energiesystem für Nervosität: Deutschlands Gasspeicher liegen bei 24 Prozent – etwa halb so hoch wie üblich zur Jahreszeit. Das Wirtschaftsministerium gibt Entwarnung, Beobachter warnen dennoch vor einer Erwartungsdynamik, die bei Kälte, höherem Verbrauch oder stockendem Nachschub schnell auf Preise und Stimmung durchschlagen könnte. Und in den Innenstädten zeichnet sich der nächste Preiskampf ab – dieses Mal geht es um Kaffee: Neben günstigen Angeboten von LAP startet die chinesische Kette Cotti Coffee mit aggressiven Einstiegspreisen und App-Rabatten, inklusive Espresso für 99 Cent.

Fundraising Takes Time and Focus Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Fundraising is a full-time job. It takes time and focus to do it properly. For some founders, it's a job within a job. In running a fundraise campaign, the founder should consider it their full-time job. Their startup duties should be handled by someone else for the time it takes to raise the round. Some investors will come in more easily than others. For those investors who want to be in the deal and are ready to join, have them sign the investment documents. This is often done with a convertible note in which the valuation is not set. Most investors will require time and attention to close. The lead investor, in particular, will take time to negotiate the valuation and other deal terms. Be sure to budget time and attention for the lead investor negotiation. These often take up to two months to complete. In engaging investors, identify the type of investor you are talking to and understand how much time it will take to close the investment. Always continue the fundraising process till the money is in the bank. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Why Use Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Special Purpose Vehicles or SPVs are the use of a legal entity to gather investors into a startup investment, which takes one place on the cap table. This works well when there are many investors with small-dollar investments. SPVs bring many advantages to the founder, the VC fund, and the angel group leader. Here's a list of advantages: For the VC fund, the SPV allows for the investment into a deal outside of its fund. This works well for follow-on rounds, in which case the VC does not want to add more of their fund into it. For example, the fund can only invest in seed deals, but a portfolio company is now at a later stage and needs more funding. This also works for the angel group that wants to bring investors into the deal with check sizes below the minimum amount. Angels often use the SPV to create syndicates for specific deals that fall outside the investment thesis of the group. Founders find SPVs useful to keep their cap table clean of numerous small investors. Founders often use SPVs to bring in additional investors after other groups have finalized their investment. Consider using an SPV in your fundraise. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Advantages of a Venture Studio Model Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. There are several models for running a VC fund. The venture studio model is one of them. It brings additional support to the startup. The venture studio creates a set of startups in a sector with various skills and capabilities. As the startups progress, some raise funding while others do not. Some startups are able to sell their product while others are not. As startups stall or shut down, the team members can move to other startups in the group that are succeeding. Here are the advantages of a venture studio model: The venture studio model brings an advantage to startups in finding talent. The venture studio is able to leverage the skills of the entire cohort into a few successful startups that succeed. The studio is able to share experience from one startup with the others. The venture fund is able to take on earlier-stage deals as it has the ability to test, filter, and build successful ones. Consider the venture studio model for your startup.

Are You Ready To Be a Public Company? Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Successful startups have several exit options. Going public on the exchange is one of them. Here is the test to know if your startup is ready to be a public company: Can you provide a 20% annual growth rate for the next five years? This typically requires a stable customer base that is locked in. This often shows up in high customer retention rates. It can be seen in the use of the product with high daily active use rates. Do you have an operations level that is consistent with other public companies in your sector? Expenses growing at 85% of the rate of revenue or less is a good indicator. This improves margins over the course of time. Can you accurately predict your sales revenue over the next twelve months? Public investors expect the company to beat its forecast by 5% each quarter. To do so, the company needs to have a stable revenue stream. Consider these points before taking your startup public.

The Challenge of Startup Investing Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Startup investing is one of the most difficult asset classes to pursue. Information about the potential of the startup is often scarce and always opaque. Some information is available, but the early signs provide only scant information. Investors are torn between the fear of missing out on a good deal and the fear of getting caught up into a bad one. One must make an investment choice before all the information becomes available. Otherwise, other investors will come and take it over. Startup investing is unique among investment options because the upside is truly unlimited. Almost all other investments have limits. Startups do not, and this is what fuels the investors' fear of missing out. Most investors know that they can't afford to miss the home runs. The losses from the others will be too great unless one has a home run hit. To resolve this dilemma, investors look for additional information. They look for every piece of information they can to find evidence that it will be a success. Startup founders should take note of this dilemma and provide updates to assuage their fear.

Understand Why the Investor Said 'No' Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In pitching investors, the founder will hear 'no' many times. Without understanding why, the fundraising process can turn into a slog. By understanding why the investor said 'no', the founder can turn it into an educational experience. Here are some common reasons why investors say 'no'. There's no momentum or traction. If all you have is an idea, it can be hard for the investor to share your vision. The team is not complete and sufficient for the task at hand. Take a hard look at the team to see what the investor sees. Would you invest in a company with this team? There are too many missing pieces. There may be no shipping product, clearly defined customer, or target market. Make sure you have a clear focus on these factors, as the investor will consider these to be table stakes. The pitch may not convey all the values in the startup. Make sure the pitch is complete and communicates the value proposition well. Go to the next step to figure out why the investor said 'no'. Then use it to improve your pitch. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Key Factors in Raising a VC Fund Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising a VC fund, there are key factors that will lead to a successful outcome. Here's a list of key success factors: Providing value add to the relationship. For example, make introductions between two Limited Partners who may benefit from knowing each other. Educate the LPs so they understand the industry better. Investors love to learn insights about a sector they are investing in. Fast follow-up shows you value the relationship. Return calls quickly to show how important the relationship is. Gain endorsement from LPs, founders, and other VC funds. A good standing in the industry helps burnish the reputation. Build a robust program with well-defined processes. LPs will appreciate a strong operational team in place. Finally, build a relationship with the Limited partner. An authentic relationship will bring many benefits throughout the life of the fund. Consider these factors in raising a VC fund. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

How To Create Momentum in Your VC Fundraise Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising a VC fund, it's important to create momentum in the fundraise. This helps carry the campaign through the ups and downs that come with fundraising. Here are a few steps to create momentum: Before launching the fundraise, obtain commitments from one or two Limited Partners. LPs with a brand name or reputation work best. This motivates other LPs to consider the fund. Show progress through the fundraising process with updates to the prospective Limited Partners. Demonstrating traction helps build momentum. Use content to show how the investment thesis of the fund stands out from the crowd. Highlight trends and inflection points that indicate how the position of the fund is gaining momentum. Offer informational sessions to educate the investor about the fund. This creates a deeper understanding of how it will work. Gain endorsements from leading figures in the industry. Investors look for momentum in the deals they fund. Consider how to use these tools to build momentum into your VC fundraise.
