Funding Big Ideas: Incorporating Fundraising into Company Roadmaps
With the volatility of the public markets, the rapid pace of companies raising money at high valuations, and the insanely competitive market, chartering a clear path and understanding how to position these companies for success is more difficult than ever before
Fundraising can often be one of the most difficult and time-consuming aspects of scaling a company, especially for founders transforming physical industries. While much has been written about the key fundraising milestones SaaS, marketplace, and consumer companies must hit, there is a gap when it comes to understanding the milestones founders rebuilding physical industries must accomplish in order to attract interest from investors.
It’s important for these founders to understand how to navigate a pathway towards unlocking opportunities in the physical world in a capital efficient way. With the volatility of the public markets, the rapid pace of companies raising money at high valuations, and the insanely competitive market, chartering a clear path and understanding how to position these companies for success is more difficult than ever before.
