I will raise funds for a tech startup or business

An average tech startup CEO spends one-third of their time raising money. If I am in the picture I take off some of that load so you have more time to run and build your company.

You need strong fundamentals to raise money. The most important of them is a growing user base. But having strong fundamentals is not enough. You also have to present yourself well, and to the right investors, over a sustained period of time, usually months.

You need to work on a business plan, a pitch deck, an investor memo, and an elevator pitch. An elevator pitch is a one-minute verbal delivery that saves a lot of people a lot of time.

Pre-Seed is different from Seed is different from post-Seed. You must have a product. You must exhibit product-market fit. You must show a growing user base. And, at some point, you need to show revenues.

The team is important. Most investors care more for the excellence of the team than even the product itself.

On average it takes about six months to raise money. Sometimes that timeframe can be compressed.
