Though there are many factors impacting why the majority of startups fail to launch, learning the art and science of fundraising remains top-of-mind for most entrepreneurs, as it should.<\/p>\n<p>This week at <a href=\"https:\/\/generalassemb.ly\/\">General Assembly<\/a>\u2019s Flatiron hub, experienced founders and investors across New York\u2019s startup scene gathered for an evening to debunk fundraising strategies. Among the speakers were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plated.com\/l\/menu-free?utm_campaign=Search&amp;utm_content=45370116483&amp;utm_medium=search&amp;utm_source=google_branded&amp;utm_term=plated&amp;step=1\">Plated<\/a> Co-Founder, Josh Hix, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterment.com\/\">Betterment<\/a> Founder and CEO, Jon Stein, and Daniel Dehrey and Sebastien Park from <a href=\"http:\/\/collaborativefund.com\/\">Collaborative Fund<\/a>, an investment fund with an impressive portfolio of companies such as Kickstarter, AngelList, and TaskRabbit.<\/p>\n<p>From fireside chats to founder panels, the following are best practices and insights distilled from the night, which these entrepreneurs shared from their own victories and mishaps.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"1-test-for-proof-of-market\"><b>1. Test for proof of market<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plated.com\/\">Plated<\/a>, a membership-based service, delivers fresh ingredients to your home so that you can cook a gourmet dinner in 30 minutes or less. Before founders Josh Hix and Nick Taranto approached their friends and family for funding, they first tested whether they could ship enough boxes to prove to themselves that there was a market for Plated. The process of testing product-market fit through continuous user testing is critical to gauge demand and the accuracy of your positioning. Tangible proof of demand may be gathered through primary research, user interviews and prototyping.<\/p>\n<p>The insights obtained during this process will later act as evidence of product-market fit when you pitch to potential investors. Lack of funding inhibits many startups from launching, yet of those who do make it off the ground nearly forty percent fail because they built something that lacks a true market, a figure Alex Osterwalder, author of <i>Business Model Generation<\/i>, recently gave during a presentation on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessmodelgeneration.com\/downloads\/value_proposition_canvas.pdf\">value proposition design<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-focus-on-fit\"><b>2. Focus on fit <\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The need and urgency for capital causes some founders to overlook taking a strategic approach to building a pipeline of investors to whom they can pitch. Many turn to the \u201cpitch as many as possible\u201d strategy, and while volume is critical, it\u2019s also essential to make sure you are pitching investors with an interest in your market. Research angel investors and VCs who focus on your funding stage, market, and company mission.<\/p>\n<p>Though initially you will likely accept money from any source, the idea is to progress to \u201csmart money,\u201d namely, investors who will add value to your business in addition to funding, which Paul Canetti, Founder and CEO of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mazdigital.com\/\">MAZ<\/a> explained during his presentation Fundraising 101.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3-understand-the-individual-approach-mindset-and-motivating-factors-of-potential-investors\"><b>3. Understand the individual approach, mindset, and motivating factors of potential investors <\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Ali Hamed, Co-Founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coventure.us\/\">CoVenture<\/a>, a company that invests in early state startups by building software in exchange for equity, explains the importance of understanding the economics of investing, \u201cYou must understand the mindset of investors and their own personal stresses and what they need to accomplish.\u201d Next, you\u2019ll want to align your story with the potential investor\u2019s interest, which may be accomplished by first \u201casking them what their thesis is on the business you are in,\u201d advises Jon Stein, CEO of Betterment, \u201cThen you can tell a story that plays into that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4-persistence\"><b>4. Persistence <\/b><\/h2>\n<p>When Plated launched in 2012, it was also the day Hurricane Sandy hit Manhattan, making it nearly impossible to fulfill orders on their first day in business. Both before and after your company opens for business, you\u2019ll have many near death experiences. \u201cYou\u2019ll have 149 pitches at first and 149 no\u2019s . . . and persistence is maybe the most common thread through anything that works,\u201d Hix recounts.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"5-let-your-passion-fuel-your-storytelling\"><b>5. Let your passion fuel your storytelling <\/b><\/h2>\n<p>When asked to give a final piece of advice to the founders and entrepreneurs in the room, Sebastien Park from <a href=\"http:\/\/collaborativefund.com\/\">Collaborative Fund<\/a> left the room with a note of inspiration. \u201cAlong the way in your process you will come across people who say what you\u2019re doing doesn\u2019t work, but if it\u2019s something you have conviction on, it\u2019s something you should see through. You shouldn\u2019t be deterred by no\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Dehrey added, \u201cThe companies that stick out the most with us specifically, are where you see the founder internalize what they are building, like there is no separation between business and individual.\u201d<b> <\/b>Like Dehrey said, you\u2019re not just giving a pitch, you\u2019re telling a story. Demonstrating this level of passion, whether it\u2019s to connect with your audience or to fuel your internal hunger to succeed, will help you persevere through the countless hurdles you\u2019re bound to encounter.<\/p>\n<p>While passion and persistence alone won\u2019t make the cut, your potential for success in raising capital will increase when it\u2019s fused with a strategic approach and mindset.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raising capital for your venture, whether it is your first or fifth time, is a feat of its own.
