Startup Funding Espresso -- How Investors Can Help Their Companies
How Investors Can Help Their Companies Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In funding startups, it\u2019s important to choose companies you can help.\xa0 If you only write a check and nothing more, then the investing experience will be minimal. It\u2019s only a return and nothing more.\xa0 It\u2019s best to choose startups that you can help by adding value. Here are some key ways you can add value to your startup investment: Help the startup recruit team members by leveraging your network to find qualified candidates. Help them raise additional funds from other investors through your network. Help them find debt financing for the smaller needs, such as a line of credit, as many startups are not familiar with the available options. Make introductions for the CEO to connect with prospects, partners, and others who can help in generating revenue. Provide advice on the technology landscape as many investors have a broader view of the market and have a wider range of experiences. Save the CEO\u2019s time by pointing out the best options for handling payroll, office leasing, and other basic functions that must be done. Help the CEO learn more by networking them with others who are running companies.\xa0\xa0 Connect them with the right people to generate word of mouth about the company. Finally, help the company with the exit by making introductions to potential acquirers and coaching through the process.\xa0 Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let\u2019s go startup something today. ___________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: \xa0 Check out our other podcasts here: \xa0 For Investors check out: \xa0 For Startups check out: \xa0 For eGuides check out: \xa0 For upcoming Events, check out \xa0\xa0 For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group\xa0\xa0\xa0 Please , share, and leave a review.
