Maximilian Rast has over ten years of experience raising capital for different companies. He was CMO at YFood Labs GmbH, the 100+ million euro revenue brand with over 100 million euros raised by Jumia South Africa. After years of working as a stakeholder raising capital for other businesses, Max now raised funds for his own company. He is the Co-founder of Klar, a single source of truth for e-commerce brands in Germany. Klark combines its data to help track performance, scale growth, and increase profitability. In this episode, Max shares his valuable capital-raising lessons from the perspectives of the stakeholder and the decision-maker, as raising capital in his own company. He is the ideal character to provide the best insights for entrepreneurs looking to raise funds. Have A Clear Target For The Capital Yes, your company needs capital, but do you know how to use the money that will be raised? You need to define your company's simple needs and how that investment will be used, even before raising capital. Set this as precisely as possible for yourself and the investors. There can be so many company needs in the beginning that it can be confusing to understand how the funds will be used. For companies that are just starting out and do not have market experience, Max gives a tip: when defining objectives, understand the model and alignment of expectations of where this company ought to be going. You will have a better destination for the capital raised. If your company has been in the market for a few years, the targets are already clearer. Max shares that speed to market motivated him to raise capital for his company, as there was a market need for his product. He used the investment money to increase the chances of exploring that opportunity, getting more people on the team and getting out there before the competitors. When Choosing Investors Think Strategically in Value To finance his own company, Max chose one institutional investor and a dozen angels. Behind this choice, he strategically thought about how these professionals could add to his company. His tip is: ask yourself if the angel is someone you see yourself getting a call from every week to help you grow the business. Max explains that choosing the angel isn't about the money, as his company had a good track record.Raising money wasn't the concern; the concern was the value the investor could provide on top of the money, especially in the early stages. It's surprising the expertise you can acquire from your collection of angels. Companies that are successfully raising money get a lead investor, who's a significant player with some status. Once you do that, it's a lot easier to raise capital from others, since it makes it possible to have more investor options. That's a dominant position to be in because you can make strategic decisions amongst the people interested in funding. The Idea Is Not The Most Important To Investors Many people have the misconception that to get investors, the most important thing is the innovative business idea. Of course, the product or service ideas matter, but it is not the main one. According to Max's career experiences, investors are attracted by: 60% team involved 30% market in which the business is inserted 10% idea or product Max shares that when getting to know your business, potential investors want to know if the team involved can carry out the proposal, which is the biggest concern. Investors also need to know if the market for this product is viable and healthy for investment. These are the factors that sustain the success of a good idea. When presenting the proposal to investors, include some aspects to give dimension to your project, so investors can trust their money on you. There are a few main things they want to know: Who are you and what is your business? What is your track record? How big is the market you want to join? Raising Capital Pre-Launch You may wonder when you should raise funds for your company. There are certain types of businesses that can only exist if they raise capital pre-launch. This type of company needs significant capital investment to build product development, testing, and government approvals. If your company team is a large group, you also need to prepare and raise funds before launch, as these employees will need health insurance. Raising Capital for Acceleration Raising funds is not just for companies that have not started yet or are going through some financial difficulty. Capital raising is a way to expand opportunities that are not practically fundable through cash flow. For example, if your company is already operating well, then raising capital can allow it to advance even further. Maybe you need a growth accelerator, want to more quickly gain market share, a desire to grow enterprise value more quickly or foster geographic growth- all of this can be achieved with additional funding. Focus On The Projections There is no good deal that's not fundable. The secret to winning over investors is to show projections and returns that are exciting enough for an investor. Investors are concerned about what the return on investment would be, as 9 out of 10 investments fail. That is why it is essential to explain how big the potential market is going to be. When raising capital, understand how your company operates and especially what the primary motivations are for raising this money, which will put you in a better position to organize and raise capital at the right time.

From discussing the meaning of life, to the cruciality of atomic habits, to genuinely aiming to change the world, this week's guest, Michael Gronager - CEO of crypto behemoth Chainalysis - shares fascinating insights.With a valuation of upwards of $8 Billion, following their latest funding round in May this year, Chainalysis is providing critical financial data to enable governments, banks and blockchain companies to understand how people are using cryptocurrency.Drawing comparisons to Google - by indexing the blockchain industry, Bloomberg - through their creation of financial data, and Reuters through their leading content arm, Chainalysis is at the forefront of blockchain companies, already a market leader, with the potential to scale to astronomic levels.Michael dives into his journey, from growing up in Denmark and developing a close early interest in computers, to his academic research, to an epiphanic moment stuck in a typhoon in South-East Asia and all the way to founding Chainalysis. His mentality, fascination with Wabi Sabi and seeking beauty in everything, as well as creating achievable routine habits provide amazing insight into the minds of a true modern tech leader.[ 0:00 - 4:29] Chainalysis & how every company could become a crypto company[ 4:29 - 10:51 ] Timeframe on crypto adoption[ 10:51 - 16:01 ] Chainalysis user cases[ 16:01 - 18:32 ] Bridging law enforcement and the unregulated world of crypto[ 18:32 - 21:39 ] Size and scale of Chainalysis[ 21:39 - 25:19] Raising money in a bear market[ 25:19 - 27:43] Taking inspiration from Google and Reuters[ 27:43 - 32:17 ] Remaining calm and maintaining perspective [ 32:17 - 37:32 ] 2 miles runs every morning and home-made cortados [ 37:32 - 40:23 ] Finding beauty in everything[ 40:23 - 43:01 ] Michael's Mana[ 43:01 - 46:17 ] An early fascination with computers and building things[ 46:17 - 52:07 ] Wanting to change the world[ 52:07 - 54:43 ] Finding the meaning of life at Bangkok airport [ 54:43 - 56:01 ] Who is Satoshi?[ 56:01 - 1:00:04 ] The Chainalysis Founding Story[ 1:00:04 - 1:05:47 ] Turning Chainalysis from an idea into an empire[ 1:04:41 - 1:07:58] Principles around culture[ 1:07:58 - 1:13:03 ] Winning talent, mentality as king and furthering careers[ 1:13:03 - 1:18:09 ] The Hollywood scenario for Chainalysis[ 1:18:09 - 1:23:13 ] Considering Space & Michael's approach to problem-solving[ 1:23:13 - 1:26:04 ] Advice for a bear market

In the professional world, it is impossible to succeed without networking. Remember that old adage: “It's not what you know. It's who you know.” Well, it's true. Now, this isn't to say that competence doesn't matter. It still does! As Dr. Fredric Neuman puts it in a Psychology Today article, “I like to think that competence is the most important determinant of professional success; but if it is, it is only over the long run.” In the short run, we cannot underestimate the importance of meeting people, cultivating those relationships and leveraging them when the time is right. Being well-known or having a lot of contacts can help you in all sorts of ways: Landing a job Securing a promotion Finding a new client Raising money Swaying public opinion Remember that former coworker you took time to befriend last year? He may have a job for you now, or know someone who does. Remember that business owner you met over drinks a month ago? She may be your next client, and your friendly conversation may have made her comfortable with the idea of Attaining your services. Expanding and maintaining a wide circle of influence brings intended and unintended benefits. Sometimes you can envision a social relationship paying dividends in the future. But other times those dividends can seemingly come out of the blue, leaving you grateful that you made the effort in the first place. You never know where simply making an effort may lead you. So how do you expand and maintain that circle of influence? Continue reading here. The article read in this episode originally appeared on the Forbes Agency Council CommunityVoice™ in July 2019.

Should hotels be forced to house the homeless? That issue will now be decided by voters in the city of LA in two years. The LA City Council discussed the issue today but decided to pass it off to the people. It would require hotels to offer up empty rooms each day to homeless people whether the hotel wants to or not. We go In Depth to look at both sides.  The new job numbers sure look nice but inflation still has people feeling pessimistic about the economy.  Republicans who've questioned the 2020 election results could soon control elections in some battleground states.  More pre-teens are being seen for mental health issues now. With kids heading back to school soon, we go In Depth into how those kids can best navigate the new school year.  Airline seats. You've heard the complaints. Now, you get to make them to the FAA.  Young sea turtles in Florida are all hatching as females now.

Boys… whatcha gonna do with them? Just kidding.    But they really are unique creatures and if you're raising one or more, you know that finding ways to help them communicate and express their feelings in a healthy way can be challenging.    David Thomas is a Pardon the Mess favorite, and he's with us today discussing the importance of raising emotionally strong boys.

Today's guest is Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of WHOOP, a wearable technology/fitness company that fits smack in the middle of what I like to call ‘fashology' – technology meets fashion. The device tracks and measures strain, recovery, and sleep. The brand is well received by pro athletes like LeBron James, Michael Phelps and over half of the PGA Tour; but can it help Howard? Those who have followed me for a while know I'm fascinated with sleep fitness and I have a WHOOP, but there are difficult customers, and then there's me. We discuss what it would take to have Howie back on the WHOOP wagon.  Will started the company in Boston right after graduating from Harvard – his first company, and his first full time job.

Why it is important that we embrace the chaos along this journey? There are going to be times that are unpredictable and full of uncertainty, there just are. When we accept that this is our life and we are navigating it the best we know how with what we know at the moment, it becomes way easier to live in it. There are things that we must let go of in order for this to happen. You cannot control how your child acts or reacts and you can't control the meltdowns, but what you can control is you. You can control how you show up in any situation and the way you decide to show up can make the situation either better or worse. When you choose to just embrace and accept your life as it is and move forward without worrying about judgment from others, you will ultimately find yourself happier and more at peace with your life. The chaos will change as your child grows. There is often verbal stimming, you know those noises that go on and on and on, or pacing back and forth, back and forth, or what about a meltdown in the grocery store, or biting or hitting another child in school and some of our children may even become violent and destructive. So many of our children's behavioral challenges are escalated by the way we are interacting with them which is why learning to manage your own mind and realizing that you are in control of YOU matters. For many of our children, mine included, their thinking is very rigid and inflexible, very black and white, and definitely no gray area. When things don't go as they expect, they panic and go into a meltdown. Their ability to control their emotions is just not developed and they don't have the ability to manage them. You cannot predict the future. Uncertainty about how things will go in any situation is usually an unknown for us, right? There are things that you can do to help your child if there is a possibility of chaos and I share strategies you can use in this episode. You don't know what real strength you have unless you are put in a situation that forces you to bring it out. Raising a child or children with autism will show you the depth of your strength. If you want to learn more about managing your mind and learning to control your emotions, the coaching program inside our PRIVATE SISTERHOOD might be exactly what you are looking for combined with many other benefits. Maybe you are feeling alone on your journey or maybe you are looking for other moms to connect with who understand your day-to-day challenges, be sure that you check out all of the benefits available to you in our PRIVATE SISTERHOOD. www.notyouraverageautismmom.com Additional Resources: Episode 90.

When Shelly Porges learned in 2017 that women were only receiving 2.7 percent of global venture capital, she started thinking about what she could do to change that. By 2018, she had co-founded the Billion Dollar Fund for Women (now Beyond the Billion), and within a year more than $1 billion was committed from over 80 funds globally. In this episode of Women on the Move, Shelly sits down with host Sam Saperstein to discuss her multisector background, why she's so passionate about connecting funders with women, and how Beyond the Billion achieved success beyond her expectations. Multisector experience Shelly tells Sam that her varied experience across the corporate, government, and entrepreneurial sectors has been invaluable. “Each sector has its own rewards and its own challenges, things that you learned that you wouldn't have learned maybe doing the last thing you did,” she says. Starting out in the corporate sector, Shelly worked 10 years at American Express before spending three years at Bank of America as Chief Marketing Officer during an historic turnaround. She went on to found not one but six companies in the Bay Area. By 2005, she had moved to Washington, DC and become involved with Hillary Clinton's campaigns. “I wasn't doing it for money,” she tells Sam. I was doing it because I really believed in her as a candidate and her as a leader. And then I had the opportunity to join her at the state department as her senior advisor for global entrepreneurship.” Shelly is now working in her fifth sector, venture capital, having launched the Billion Dollar Fund for Women in 2018. Raising a billion for women Shelly says the inspiration for the Billion Dollar Fund for Women was the many female founders she worked with over the years at the Cartier Women's Initiative, the largest women's business plan competition in the world. “I would see women from all over the world, innovating amazing technology or tech-enabled businesses that were helping people in the healthcare sector or any number of things, saving lives, educating more and more young people,” she says. “And then afterwards I would try to help get them funded. And so I knew those companies intimately and not being able to find them funding would drive me nuts.” Back in the private sector after the 2016 election, Shelly knew she wanted to focus on helping women entrepreneurs raise money. She found her path forward when a friend, a prominent Asian businesswoman, told her the World Bank was holding its annual meetings in Bali in 2018. The friend was working to mobilize a blended finance forum around the 17 UN sustainable development goals—but she couldn't find a project partner for Goal #5: Gender Equality.  “I said, well, send me your parameters and I'll see what I can do,” Shelly recalls. “I know a lot of people. And meanwhile I started getting obsessed with this notion. What if I offered to promote these venture funds to limited partner investors who would invest in them in exchange for which they would make a pledge to invest more into female founders? And that's where it all started.” “So now she had a project partner for number five and we were up and running,” she tells Sam. “By the time we got to the World Bank meetings, we had over $460 million pledged from initially at 23 funds. So [it was] the beginning of what we call our global consortium of funds; in under nine months we achieved and then surpassed the billion dollars.” Getting results Since then, Beyond the Billion has continued to exceed expectations. Shelly says that's partly a reflection of the untapped value of women entrepreneurs; data shows that women are consistently getting better results than men.“Whereas when we invest in men, it's a normal carbon. It's the very definition of the normal curve because they represent the total universe practically of who gets invested in.” As far as advice to female entrepreneurs, Shelly is straightforward: “Do your homework, know who you're reaching out to,” she says. By doing your research upfront you can find the subset of funds that might be a good match for you in terms of stage, geography, mission, and other criteria, she notes.   Full transcript here

We are back for another summer series episode! Today's episode is an important one, because it's the foundation that everything else is built on.  Because if you don't believe that things are possible, if you don't open your mind in a way that allows you to see possibility instead of all the reasons why things aren't going to work out, you're going to continually hit roadblocks.  Fear of failure is normal, it's common. But what do you do with it? How do you approach it? How do you break through it? How do you get to the other side of it? So today, for our kids listening in (and honestly, for all the adults listening in too!), this is geared towards you and helping you expand that mindset to a place where it's going to serve you to help you get to your goals, and to live the life that you're called to live.  Let's raise them up right!

Jordan Raynor has always been passionate about creativity and productivity, and he's written a number of best-selling books on these topics. In his new book, The Creator in You, Jordan's goal is to inspire our children to start young!  He helps kids to understand that work existed from the very beginning – even before sin entered the world...He reminds kids that God is a creative, working God, who invites them to create alongside Him! Jordan and I talk about work as a spiritual theme, how we as parents can inspire our kids to value work, and the role of chores and doing hard things. If you have little kids, this is a must listen. But for all of us, this conversation should inspire an appreciation for all the work we do (Motherhood counts!) and encourage us to raise our children to dream, create, and work hard, all to God's glory.

Creating fair, just, inclusive business systems is Hana Mohan's ultimate goal, but she is as pragmatic as she is idealistic. In today's episode, Hana speaks openly about how her transgender identity has shaped her journey as an entrepreneur, why she doesn't believe in a product-led approach, and the importance of focus and continuous learning. She also shares her thoughts on bootstrapping versus capital raising approaches (both of which she has done herself). As Hana knows from personal and business experience, growth can be very painful in the moment but it is worth it in the long term.About Hana Mohan:Hana Mohan is the CEO & Co-founder of MagicBell, a plug-and-play notifications inbox aimed at app developers. Prior to this, she founded two other startups: SupportBee and Muziboo. Hana was the first openly transgender woman to go through Y Combinator and she has written extensively on transgender issues and entrepreneurship, covering topics like cis-passing, gender dysphoria, and HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Episode highlights: Don't just assume that if you have a good product, you will do well. Success comes through focus, so focus on what is important to you and what will take your business forward. (4:04) Experience can make people cynical. That's why there is so much value in maintaining a “beginner's mind.” Read, listen to podcasts, and spend time with people who you can constantly learn from. (05:14) Raising money (as opposed to bootstrapping, which also has its benefits) allows entrepreneurs to expand their horizons. Through the capital raising process, you can gain a better understanding of money, and the more money you have, the more you can achieve. Sell your vision! (11:30) There is so much money and so little churn up-market which means it is important to have a dedicated sales team and focus on up-market sales, rather than adopting a product-led approach. (19:56) You can't fight every battle. Dream big but also be pragmatic about what it takes to be successful. (26:40) Hana's best advice for entrepreneurs:“You achieve what you focus on.” (04:04) Don't assume that just because you have a good product or service, people will buy it. Success comes through being intentional about what you do with your time and energy.Connect with Hana: LinkedIn Twitter Website Follow Beyond 8 Figures: LinkedIn Twitter Website

Media is all around us - movies, music, tv, online videos, reels, TikToks, and more. And, there are as many parenting strategies around media as there are types of media. How do we safeguard our kids around media in today's culture? Spoiler Alert: We aren't going to talk about what to watch per se, but rather how to watch.  In this episode I'll talk about what it could look like for us to raise not just haphazard watchers but discerning media consumers. Of course, we should exercise wisdom with what our kids watch and listen to, but also, as moms we're in the business of teaching men to fish.  Let's teach our kids to become discerning viewers. I'll give you some handlebars to foster discussions about movies or TV with your kids and to get them thinking about what they're watching too. “We want our children to know the one good story so well that when they see Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, Frodo, Anne of Green Gables, Ariel, and Sleeping Beauty they can recognize the strands of truth and deception in them.” (Karalee Reinke, in Ep 27).  “O Discerning Spirit,  Who alone judges all things rightly,  Now be present in my mind and active In my imagination as I prepare to engage  With the claims and questions of diverse cultures Incarnated in the stories that people tell.”  A Liturgy Before Consuming Media, Every Moment Holy by Douglas McKelvey Links Mentioned:   Feeding the Mouth That Bites You  by Kenneth Wilgus, PhD  VidAngel Filtering Service Related Episodes: Family Movie Moms :: Amanda White [Ep 27] Annie, Into the Woods, & Night at the Museum 3 :: Family Movie Moms [Ep 53] Summer Movie Edition :: (Inside Out, Tomorrowland) :: Family Movie  Moms [Ep 79] Mockingjay & Big Hero 6 :: Family Movie Moms [Ep 49] How to Train a Dragon 2 :: Family Movie Moms [Ep 31]  Movie Discussion Guides Meet the Robinsons :: Family Movie Discussion Guide Big Hero 6 :: Family Movie Discussion Guide Family Movie Discussion Guide : “Cars” (Pride & Humility of Lightning McQueen) “The LEGO Movie” Family Discussion Guide Frozen :: Family Movie Discussion Guide Using God's Story to Analyze Movies Dolphin Tale 2 :: Family Movie Discussion Guide (& Review)  Featured Sponsors:  Caraway - Visit Carawayhome.com/DMA to take advantage of this limited time offer for 10% off your next purchase.  GladSkin -  Gladskin is offering listeners 15% off plus free shipping on your first order at gladskin.com/DMA.  Ladder - Go to LadderLife.com/dma today to see if you're instantly approved.
