Part One - The Early Stage Entrepreneur

You are just starting out. You have a business idea and you want to start a business. Maybe you have money saved or are getting some money to start from family and friends. Here are some of the questions you must ask yourself and answer as you are getting started. We will explore these questions and the options to think about when trying to answer them for yourself.

1. What type of business do you want to build?
2. What type of investor do you want to attract?
3. How are you and your investors going to get a return on investment?
4. What are the milestones in your business?
5. What are the intellectual property protections you should be thinking about?

 

Part Two - Key Fundraising Information Preparation

You now have an operating business with some early customers. You are ready to bring on investors. We will talk through the critical elements of what you need to prepare in order to speak with investors.

1. Defining the need or problem you product or service fulfills.
2. What investors look for in a business definition.
3. The Elevator Pitch and why it is important.
4. Developing a well thought out business model.
5. Determining the amount of money to raise.

 

Part Three - The Fund Raising Process

You have survived and perhaps even thrived over the challenge of writing your business plan and developing your financial model. Now what? Now it is time to engage with potential investors and to begin the dance of fundraising. Fundraising is an exciting process that ushers in a time of meeting many great people but also the challenge of running a business while spending time fundraising. We will discuss several of the core aspects of fundraising to consider.

1. The best way to find angel investors and venture capital investors.
2. Your company valuation and how much of your company you should "give up".
3. The definition of follow-up and persistence.
4. How to evaluate potential investors.
