Startup Funding Espresso - Fundraise Geography

Published: March 10, 2020, 11:05 p.m.

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. I receive many a startup that tells me they\u2019ve talked to everyone in their area to raise funding but they haven\u2019t found all the funding they need.\xa0 What can they do? When I started angel networks in the 2000s, they were mostly generalists that invested in local deals.\xa0\xa0 Today, they are mostly specialists looking for specific criteria and they rarely find those deals in their backyard. As investors scan nationwide for deals, so startups must start looking there as well.\xa0 If you\u2019re in a major startup hub such as the Bay Area or New York City, then you most likely can raise most if not all of your funding in your resident city. If you\u2019re not, then you need to take a country-wide perspective on your fundraise from day one.\xa0 Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. \xa0 Let\u2019s go startup something today.
