Startup Funding Espresso Role of the Lead Investor After the Fundraise
Role of the Lead Investor After the Fundraise Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The lead investor has a role before, during and after the fundraise. Here are some key activities for the lead investor after the fundraise. Takes a board seat to help guide the company. Often helps recruit the other board members. Provides oversight for reporting and compliance. This includes tax and regulatory filings as many startups haven\u2019t done this before. Helps prepare the company for the next round of funding. This includes building the appropriate business results as well as lining up outside investors. To raise follow-on funding the company will need to meet specific metrics and milestones. This requires putting processes in place to achieve the goals. As for outside investors, it\u2019s best to engage them early in the process so they can track the progress of the company.\xa0 The more the investors know about the company the easier it is to raise the funding when the time comes.\xa0 Consider these activities as a lead investor. \xa0 Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.
