My name is Tunç and as a founder who got funded big time 🚀, I am here to tell you how I did it. Fundraising is a lot like sales, instead of selling a product/service, you are selling a part of your company. This will be very helpful for young founders.
I have been in the startup journey for a really long time and I have noticed that first time fundraising is a problem for them. There is no one to really guide them and there aren't many sources that you could trust out there because it is always from a VC point of view.
I thought that I could shed light into fundraising process as a founder who has successfully done that before with my strategies and things that have worked for me.
By reading this book you'll be able to understand the complete blue print of how I did this. Moreover, I would like to create a connection with my fellow founders to resolve other issues that come their way.
I'll be happy to jump into meetings to help grow your business with funding.
A lot of startups don't know where and how to start raising funds effectively. The first thing that comes to mind is to simply reach out to local VCs and attend demo days, but should an entrepreneur really give up when these channels aren't too promising?
This manual would be a useful entry point to the whole fundraising process for early stage entrepreneurs. Especially to utilize all the tools available to maximize investor outreach. Basically treat the investor outreach like a sales process, and your leads are investors/analysts in this case.
A final note for entrepreneurs, and this is completely relative based on each startup, would be to research competitors and their investors. While your 'direct' competitors' investors might not be your first choice, those who invest in products in your field might be more likely to understand your product and invest in it.
