My guest today believes that the greatest barrier to nonprofit fundraising success isn't money—it's clarity. Kevin L. Brown is the co-founder of Mighty Ally and the author of Fundable & Findable: The Brand-New Way to Fix Your Nonprofit Fundraising. In this conversation, Kevin explains why most organizations are stuck in a donor-chasing cycle and what it takes to become truly fundable and findable.If your organization has ever struggled to articulate why you exist or raise the resources you need, this episode may just shift your entire approach.
In this inspiring 16th episode of Non-Profit North Stars with Jim Eskin, we spotlight Kevin L. Brown, Founding Partner and CEO of Mighty Ally, a global force in nonprofit strategy and branding. Speaking from Malaysia, Kevin shares the story behind his new book, Fundable & Findable The Brand-New Way to Fix Your Nonprofit Fundraising, a labor of love born from years of consulting, training, and community-driven research with 340+ nonprofits in 51 countries. Kevin unpacks his bold Fundable/Findable Framework, explaining how nonprofit leaders can finally escape the starvation cycle and stop the endless donor chase. Whether you're leading a grassroots initiative or scaling a global nonprofit, this episode offers real, actionable insights for leaders ready to rethink the way they grow their missions. Key Takeaways: The Nonprofit Starvation Cycle is Real: Most nonprofits operate in survival mode, stuck in an endless loop of fundraising just to stay afloat. Fundraising Alone Can't Fix Fundraising: Kevin argues that the traditional donor chase model is broken, and a deeper strategy is needed. The Fundable/Findable Framework: Fundable: Showing donors why you exist, what you do, who will do it, where you're going, how to get there, and when it will be done. Findable: Occupying a distinct space in the minds of your ideal funders, and routinely communicating your promises to them. Your Brand Is More Than a Logo: Brand clarity means aligning your theory of change, strategic plan, positioning strategy, and marketing communications in a sequential, thoughtful way. Democratizing Access to Expertise: Kevin's mission is to make these tools available to nonprofits of all sizes — not just the big ones with budgets for consultants. If 'Brand' Sounds Too Corporate… Call it identity, clarity, unity, or direction — what matters is that you do the work to define and share your mission in a compelling way.

When Girl Get Fundable host Josette Fleury first began building her #businesscredit, it was not something that she fully understood. It wasn't until she invested in the proper coaching and guidance that she began to see real results. On this week's #ladyJchat, Josette will give listeners the foundation they need by sharing a 10-step process to building business credit effectively and efficiently. Josette wants #fempreneurs to understand that business credit cannot be built overnight. Similar to our personal credit, the process takes time and requires you to complete certain financial steps before lenders are willing to provide funds. In fact, before you can even open a line of business credit or obtain a business credit card, you must complete 6 of the 10 steps in Josette's plan, including registering your business, getting an EIN number (a business social security number), and opening a business bank account to name a few. It is essential that you not only know what business credit is, but that you also have an action plan on how to build your business credit. If you haven't already, listen to last week's episode for the definition of business credit and then check out this week's episode of Girl Get Fundable to get started on building it! You won't want to miss Josette's FREE and easy-to-understand 10-step business credit building plan. Quotes • “I want you to be able to walk away from today's episode knowing exactly what ten steps you can take and use as a checklist in order to build your business credit fast.” (2:16-2:29) • “You can build business credit non PG, which is non-personal guarantee, and then you can build credit with PG, which would be personal guaranteeing.” (3:45-3:55) • “Building your business with no personal guarantee separates you from the business, the expenses, the actual entity. Whatever it is you have in your business name would actually be a liability of the business, of the company.” (4:24- 4:39) • “Opening a business bank account is crucial. Why? Because when you have this business banking account, you can keep your expenses separate. Personal on the one side, your business on the other.” (7:53-8:10) • “The 3 business bureaus are: Dun & Bradstreet, Experian Business and Equifax Business.” (14:12-14:18) Links josettefleury.net https://josettefleury.net/podcast/ https://josettefleury.net/girl-get-fundable-acceleration-course/ https://securingmygems.com/business-loan/ Follow us on social: Instagram: www.instagram.com/josette.iamsecuringmygems Clubhouse: www.clubhouse.com/@ladyfleur To get plugged into our community of Girl Get Fundable across the globe Join Our Girl Get Fundable Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/girlgetfundable Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. I talk with entrepreneurs every day about their fundraise. The most common question from the early-stage startup is, “Am I fundable?” The first question to ask is, “Do you have a growth story?” Are things clicking forward on sales, team, and product development? I believe the prospective customer should be involved at every step and not just the last one in buying the product. The customer should be in there talking about the problem they need solved. They should be guiding the product development at some level. In every investor discussion, you should talk about the customers you are engaging and their interactions with your idea or product - even in the beta phase. You should also have a core team. In the very early stages, someone is building it and someone is selling it. No fair, you’re both building it and no one is selling it. If you can answer those questions with substance, then you are in the game to consider funding. It doesn’t matter where you are on the journey, you just need to show you are making consistent and meaningful progress. 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: Check out our other podcasts here: For Investors check out: For Startups check out: For eGuides check out: For upcoming Events, check out For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group

Zirtual.com (virtual staff) adds a virtual team member to startup companies. Interview Notes: Wil got into this journey because he loves teaching others how to navigate the startup journey. The founders journey is also filled with sleepless nights. Wil wanted to create something that offered guide posts along the startup path to guide other founders to success. The perception is different from the reality when you start a business as a founder, there is execution paralysis on how to deliver. Wil and his team found there are three categories of being a successful startup and those things are: Education Bring Smart People to the Table Provide startups with the tools they need to succeed Following that formula Startups.com has brought over 1.2M people to the platform. Fast forward to COVID-19 and the new challenges that brings, Wil is no stranger to challenging times. He was able to navigate the 2000 dot.com bubble, then shortly there after the September 11, 2001 tragedy, then only to see the 2008 financial market bubbles burst. Startups.com was created to help two different segments. The first is the startup journey and the second is the founder's journey. Finally Wil created a podcast called Startup Therapy, that really digs deep into the founder's journey. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ceocrossing/message

When I built my company Clarity.fm, I remember staying up until 3AM designing how this software would work. But I’m not a designer. So I used an awesome wireframing tool called Balsamiq. It was a dream to use. In no time at all, I had a working prototype for my SaaS, the same one that was later successfully acquired by Fundable. I love Balsamiq. And I recommend it to all “graphically challenged” software founders. So it’s a huge pleasure to be interviewing Peldi Guilizzoni, the founder of Balsamiq, on this week’s episode of Escape Velocity. Not only has his tool been a launchpad for so many businesses… but Balsamiq is a SaaS of its own, with a fascinating growth journey to tell. The ultimate plot-twist in this interview is that Peldi never wanted to grow! I’m not kidding. He wanted to stay as a solopreneur with a simple software tool and resisted growth as much as he could. But his software was just too good and he’s now he’s doing over $6M+ in yearly sales. It was going to take off whether he liked it or not… so, he reluctantly learned to ride the wave. In this episode, he talks about: Doing everything alone for 6 months The day he reluctantly hired someone How he still suffers from imposter syndrome (don’t we all?) The year that 5 competitors appeared How Balsamiq remains untouched by Adobe XD This is a humbling, insightful and fascinating story of how one of the most praised UX wireframing tools just took off. It’s a powerful lesson in personal growth. Or as Peldi describes it, “It was like being strapped to a rocket and trying to steer it”. Tune in here for this refreshing interview. And let me know in the comments if you enjoyed the chat as much as I did! -- Dan Martell has advised more startups than his hometown has people and teaches startup founders like you how to scale. He previously created, raised venture funding for and successfully exited two tech startups: Flowtown and Clarity.fm.

There are a few things that should be on the checklist of any startup before they think of approaching investors other than friends and family. The first is TAM or “Total Addressable Market”. VCs need big markets to support big companies. A better understanding of VC economics would help explain this a bit better but for the moment, just assume that VCs need big exits otherwise they go out of business. Big exits are usually via IPOs. Rarely does the NYSE or Nasdaq allow listing a company under a $1 billion market cap. In order for a company to list for on a public exchange for a billion dollars, they really need a few hundred million in revenue and lots of growth prospects otherwise, public investors won’t buy into the IPO. After years of rapidly increasing valuations in the space, we’re starting to see some strain in the ride-sharing space after Lyft’s IPO and questions about whether Uber’s IPO will be under the initial target of $125B ( add link to Uber video ) and closer to $100B. Unless the market that a startup is targeting is a multi-billion dollar market or growing rapidly, it’s very difficult to convince most VCs to invest. The quality of the team is also critical to the success of a startup and its execution. If the team is solid, investors are more likely to get excited about investing. Finally, there’s traction. Having traction is critical to an early stage startup looking attractive to angels and VCs. If the traction is strong and there’s a well understood growth plan, investors are more confident that the team can attack the large total addressable market. ————— Connect with me on: YouTube: https://pjain.co/investstream Twitter: https://twitter.com/pjain Instagram: https://instagram.com/pjain001 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pjain001 Blog: http://blog.pjain.me AngelList: https://angel.co/pjain Founder Craft: https://foundercraft.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pjain/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pjain/support

Jameson Detweiler is a serial entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of Fantasmo, a company creating a digital twin for our physical world - both indoors and out. This 3D map will be decentralized, open source, and enable camera-based positioning.Prior to Fantasmo, Jameson co-founded 3 startups. Most recently he was the co-founder and CEO of LaunchRock, a company that helped startups create a web presence and build anticipation for their pre-launch products. The company was acquired by Fundable in 2014.In this conversation, Jameson and I discuss the need for a new type of 3D map to drive a broad range of new capabilities and experiences, including within automation, mobility and augmented reality. This 3D map represents a digital twin of the world, to which can be tied a wide array of digital experiences and insights.Jameson sees it as a transformative opportunity to rethink and remake mapping data.Jameson goes on to break down the benefits of camera-based positioning, meaning using the camera to precisely resolve your location. We discuss the the argument for an open-source and decentralized approach, and the tradeoffs in terms of privacy and utility.We also talk about some lessons Jameson learned creating LaunchRock, which helped other startups launch their ideas.You can find all of the show notes at thearshow.com.
Today’s question: Today’s question comes from Michael. How can a company use safe notes for its pre-seed round to include non-accredited investors? Would it have to be through a crowd funding platform? How would you proceed? Jake’s answer: There’s not a lot of information out there because it’s quite complex to raise a seed round. Only 3 percent of startups ever raise a round of seed funding because it’s hard and complicated. Let’s start by breaking down what an accredited vs. non-accredited investor is. An accredited investor is determined by the SEC as someone who: Net worth that exceeds $1M at the time of purchase (of your company stock). Individual income that exceeds $200k or spouse exceeding $300k for the previous two years and expecting the same in the current year. Director of General Partner of a company selling the securities. If you haven’t already spoken with an attorney about fundraising, you should. It can be complicated and hard to understand. How to Include Non-Accredited Investors Recently, the SEC adjusted the law so that non-accredited investors could invest in your startup. That’s why there are now crowdfunding platforms that allow you to sell equity in your company to all types of investors. Using one of these platforms is a great way to get started with this: Crowdfunder Fundable SeedInvest Downside of Crowdsourcing Investments There are some downsides to this method. Firstly, you don’t build relationships with your investors. There are often many investors and they are just offering money - not guidance or mentorship. You also don’t get a sense if they are the right type of investor for your company. It’s hard to say which of these programs is best, but I’d have to say Fundable because they are backed by Startup.co. However, they all have good reputations. Can you Lump Investors Together? An LLC is not the way to go if you are trying to lump non-accredited investors together. With a C-Corp you can break your company into shares so it’s easier to break these apart for your investors. As always, you should consult a lawyer to ensure you are doing what is right for your startup. Figuring this out is hard for startups because investors want it to be hard. If you knew exactly what to do then it would take away their leverage. It’s not that all investors are out to take advantage of you, but they want the chips on their table.

The question this week is.. how do I create a life that I love? And how do I build a plan to achieve it, while taking total responsibility for each and every step, past, present and future? This week, we’re joined by Dan Martell, an award-winning entrepreneur and founder of Clarity, a venture-backed startup he built to make it easy to connect with top business minds over the phone. It was recently acquired by Fundable. Dan previously co-founded Flowtown, a San Francisco based social marketing product which raised funding, grew to over 50,000 customers and, in 2011, was acquired by Demandforce (INTU:NASDAQ). In 2012, Dan was named Canada’s top angel investor having completed over 33 investments with amazing companies like Udemy, Intercom and Unbounce. Dan is passionate about sharing everything he knows to help other people, especially in the art and creativity of business and entrepreneurship. He is just as passionate - if not more so - about helping at-risk teens, and you’re going to hear why, as Dan shares very openly about his experiences, both good and challenging. To put it plainly, Dan had a very bumpy ride as a younger person. Among the many key things that stood out to me from this conversation were: Lighthouse vs the Tugboat - Showing possibility vs enabling. Tough love: Accountability & responsibility. The only person you’re ever competing against is yourself from yesterday. The power of ignorance in getting started - Don’t let what you don’t know slow you down. At-risk teens - they have the fire that, if it could be channeled, could lead to great things. They have the “don’t give a fuck” nature that many of the rest of us try to learn. Responsibility of believing in yourself & aligning your actions with your belief (it’s “empowering, exciting and scary”). What’s the motivation behind the goal? ©2017 Kevin Bulmer Enterprises

Wil Schroter never set out to become an entrepreneur. In fact, he didn't have that much interest in business in the first place. But in 1995, he found himself in the office of his college guidance counselor saying that he was dropping out to start an internet company. The question she asked wasn't why Schroter was quitting college, but what was this "internet" he was talking about. A 19 years old, Schroter was one of the first handful of people in the world building successful businesses based on this world-changing piece of technology. While dropping out of college to pursue a career in entrepreneurship is pretty run-of-the-mill today, back in 1995 it was practically unheard of. Everyone around Schroter told him it was insane, that it'd be suicide, that he'd never make it. Fast forward a little over 20 years, he now finds himself as the founder of several multimillion-dollar companies, including Fundable, the world's largest business crowdfunding platform, and the internationally renowned startup launchpad startups.co. It's been a successful journey since that guidance counselor's office. Throughout his entrepreneurial career, Schroter has not only witnessed, but also participated in many of the world-changing impacts the internet has had. He's pretty much seen it all. In this episode you will learn: How to survive a business with less than zero business experience The things you need to know on how to close more deals Learn how to build a community How to deal with growth pains effectively Tips on what it takes to build a successful company & more!

Some of their investments include Uber, Poshmark, Otis and Blue Bottle Coffee. Prior to Kindred, Kanyi was a Partner at Collaborative Fund and co-founded Heartbeat Health. He previously ran growth at One Block Off the Grid and was an early employee at Doostang. Kanyi has also served as a Lecturer and Adjunct at New York University Tisch School of the Arts, a curriculum adapted from his time as a student at Stanford University. This was an amazing conversation about Kanyi's journey both as a founder and investor, his mission and what he looks for from founders. Without further ado, here's A couple of books the inspired Kanyi are The Structure of Scientific Revolutions ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0226458083?camp=1789&creativeASIN=0226458083&ie=UTF8&linkCode=xm2&tag=theconsumervc-20 ) by Thomas Kuhn and Doing Capitalism in the Innovation Economy ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108471277?camp=1789&creativeASIN=1108471277&ie=UTF8&linkCode=xm2&tag=theconsumervc-20 ) by William Janeway. A book that inspired him personally is I highly recommend following Kanyi on Twitter @km ( https://twitter.com/km ). You can also visit his website Kanyi.me ( http://kanyi.me/ ) to read his articles and listen to some of his other interviews. You can also follow your host, Mike, on Twitter @mikegelb ( https://twitter.com/MikeGelb ). You can also follow for episode announcements @consumervc ( https://twitter.com/ConsumerVc ). Some of the questions I ask Kanyi - * What compelled you to drop out of Stanford, founding Doostang and what initially attracted you to technology and entrepreneurship? What were some of the mistakes you made as an entrepreneur? What compelled you to switch to the other side and become an investor? How has venture capital changed? How has venture capital and domain expertise changed? How do you filter inbound opportunities and your due diligence process? * What are qualities that a founder needs to have or milestones a company needs to reach in order for you to be interested? What do you most pay attention to when analyzing an opportunity and what do you pay least attention to? For entrepreneurs building a company in a market that may not exist yet, how should they think about market sizing? * CoronaVirus is very top of mind. Has this impacted how you invest? Are you more focused on current portfolio companies rather than new investments? * How are you adjusting to new work protocols? * *Is it harder to establish conviction in founders since you are meeting them remotely rather than in person?* * Has COVID changed how you think about investing in fully distributed teams or teams that are located in secondary markets? * How should founders think of pivoting at the early stages? Can founders pivot too quickly? * What's some advice for founders that live in secondary and tertiary markets? Or maybe simply don't have a network of VCs? * What are some consumer trends that you are focused on? * Has CoronaVirus changed how you invest at Kindred? * Are you starting to see discrepancies in valuations? * Are VCs starting to pull back in order to focus on their current portfolio companies? * What's one thing that you would change when it came to venture capital? * What's one company on your anti-portfolio? * What's your most recent investment and what makes you excited about it?
