What Not To Say in a Fundraise Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising funding, startups should avoid these statements to investors. “We have no competition.” If there's no competition, then there is no market. Instead, the founder should talk about how the startup solves the problem in a new and unique way. This is the value proposition of the business. “You'll need to sign my NDA before I can tell you about my business.” The investor will interpret this to mean there's no protection on the business, such as intellectual property. Instead, the founder should limit the discussion to the benefits their technology provides and not go into how it works. “I've included my sweat equity on the cap table.” The investor will only recognize equity that is bought with dollars. The founder should consider sweat equity as table stakes that all startups must bring to the fundraise. “We only need 1% of this billion-dollar market to be successful.” While this statement may sound compelling, the investor interprets this statement as lacking a go-to-market strategy. The founder should focus on their initial traction with customers by outlining the first twenty customers they will pursue. This shows a focused approach to entering the market. Avoid these statements in your pitch. 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 Please , share, and leave a review.

Adam Smyer is the author of "You Can Keep That to Yourself: A Comprehensive List of What Not To Say to Black People, for Well-Intentioned People of Pallor.” Using humor, Adam relays harsh truths about U.S. race relations through the persona of Daquan, the Black co-worker who also doubles as that one Black friend. In exposing the Black point of view, Adam doesn’t mince words and he is very intentional about its purpose and audience.From “articulate” to “not all white people” to “uppity,” many of the terms in the book are racial microaggressions, racial dog whistles, or bullhorns and Daquan’s explanations serve as witty and dignity-restoring clapbacks. Read the book review on the Colors of Influence blog.In our conversation, Adam talks about the creative -- often cathartic -- process in writing the book, and his reflections on its purpose during this important time of racial reckoning. (This episode contains strong language.)
