How do you raise money for your startup? 🚀

At the last company I was a co-founder of, we decided to raise money. Got seed investment (basically just pitching concept and forecast) (~3M USD), then Series A (~18M USD). The company prior to that we bootstrapped and did basically fund through B2B sales (this was in the marketing tech space), and it grew to >10M USD in annual revenue. Now I'm back to solo-building for a while, and will not raise external money (unless something got the potential to become really big, and it would be at a post-PMF stage).

I can tell you how to raise money..

We have a classic subscription system, it doesn't work badly. But in order to grow faster, we will launch a referral program one of these days.

Hey! I will go to the website of venture capital or startup accelerators and share the Pitch! Get ready all the documents ready before doing it. Cheers,

I am bootstrapped!

Pitch, build, repeat.

Make something people want and show it to investors.

I have not raised yet

I've raised 300k for VC funding, 400k for bank debt

I'm still mulling it through. At the moment, only saving.

Still debating between wanting to raise and staying bootstrapped!

From different investors

First way is my own capital. soon I will look for some Friend&Family options

I haven't thought about it yet.

Well, we haven't raised any money yet, but our future plan involves a mix of passionate pitches, networking acrobatics, and a touch of crowdfunding magic!
