Seven Touches: The Value of Follow-Up in Startup Fundraising - Dan Broderick
Fundraising is one of the two hardest tasks entrepreneurs undertake. The other, even harder, task is to spend the money you do raise wisely. This short article will focus on the first: raising capital for your startup company. As for my background, I have been on both sides of the fundraising table, entrepreneur and investor. As an entrepreneur, I have successfully raised capital for startups and venture capital funds where I have been a founder and executive or general partner. As a venture capitalist, I have invested in dozens of companies and entrepreneurs and decided not to invest in hundreds (if not thousands) more.
