Startup Funding Espresso Should You Raise Funding for Your Startup
Should You Raise Funding for Your Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Before raising funding consider if you should raise funding for your startup. Ask why you need funding and see if you have a specific need for funding tied to growing the business.\xa0 If you have a business on a high growth trajectory, consider venture funding.\xa0 If the business is not high growth or you have no vision of selling it, consider other forms of funding such as SBA loans or revenue-based funding.\xa0 Investors expect a return in the ballpark of five times their investment in five years.\xa0 Angel and venture capital funding go to those startups. Other factors to consider for venture funding include the following: You have a large addressable market. You are building a business that is scalable. You are using a recurring revenue monetization model. You are building a platform-based business rather than a single product. You plan to sell the business rather than keep it for a lifestyle business.\xa0 Finally, you have built enough of the business to prove product and market validation -- the product works and people will pay for it.\xa0 \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. _______________________________________________________ Thank you for joining your host Hall T.
