How To Finance A High-Tech Start-Up
Within the Chanimal consulting practice we often talk with start-ups and their number one question is “How do I get funding.” Having gone through five acquisitions, and having helped raise $27million in funding (from
angels, VC’s and large corporations), I can answer some of their questions, but not all. For this I wanted to turn to the experts, and what better experts than the investors themselves.
There are plenty of books on the subject, but I wanted folks to see and hear directly from the mouths of professional investors and get a “feel” for what it will take to enlist these people as partners, so I enlisted
the help of our sister company, www.videobackstage.com and created a condensed video to let you see for yourself what you need to do.
Within this video you’ll learn the following.
- The stages of funding and what is expected at each stage
- How to write a complete, yet concise business plan that will catch an investors attention and lead to the initial meeting
- What investors look for in terms of the management team, the market, and concept
- How to give a winning presentation, and most importantly, how to sell your “next” meeting
- What questions to ask VC’s that you are considering as investment partners
- Things to look for in a term sheet
- How much time to expect for each stage of funding, according to what kind of investor
- Alternative funding, including government grants and the 504b
- Wise counsel from seasoned investors, and CEO’s who have been through the process--multiple times.
I’ve learned some critical keys to getting financed while putting together this production. I’m sure you’ll find the information just as valuable. I invite you to order the video and see for yourself. Select the
banner ad above or click here to find out more (including a 3 minute sample of the material).
In addition, the video site has a resources section that contains links to pre-screened sources of financing.
NEW - Download version is now FREE. The catch, I require you to register at the site (I only use the names for networking if I ever need any information from you). Once you
register, you’ll be dropped in “The Cave” and have a link to the free video.
