Hardships of
raising capital.

Raising capital for a startup can be incredibly tough, especially given the current market conditions and the varied needs of investors.

 

​

  • Investors have scaled back on opportunity investments leaving early stage founders struggling to innovate, go to market, scale, and raise capital
     

  • Investment rounds are taking longer to close if they close at all, leaving founders competing with a 90% fail rate 

 

  • Founders of early-stage startups understandingly lack the resources required to launch and scale

 

  • Due diligence is time consuming and expensive from legal and finance, to marketing and operations

What founders don't know.

What makes raising capital so challenging is that the market can be unpredictable, and investors have their own specific criteria and expectations.

​

​

  • Market conditions, inflation and interest rates
     

  • Wait and see approach from investors means you have to work harder on persuading them 
     

  • Startup valuations have been high, and investors are waiting for valuations to continue to drop

​

  •  M&A has slowed and gone to larger deals 
     

  • VCs typically invest in 1 out of 500 companies that pitch them, and I've even heard an established VC say why so many
     

  • Startup accelerators and other venture programs have a 90% rejection rate and VCs are no better
