Startup Funding Espresso -- It's Show, Not Tell

Published: Dec. 2, 2020, 1 p.m.

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. There\u2019s an old saying: If you tell me, it\u2019s an essay. If you show me, it\u2019s a story. In raising funding you have to show, not just tell. Forecasting alone doesn\u2019t close the round. You must demonstrate progress towards it. Never show up to an investor meeting or call without something new in hand to show your growth story. Always talk about a customer and their engagement with your product or team. Show how the team is making things happen. Show how other investors are interested in committing funds. Show how the product is working and what it is doing for the customer today. In fundraising, it\u2019s show, not tell. 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 For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group
