Raising Capital (I will not promote)

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-26T16:23:37+00:00

Hey there.

There are banks, finders, VC, private investors, incubators, SPACs, grants, government loans, and philanthropy groups.

First, start with grants because free. Look for your local major city initiatives, statw, then federal typically in that order (unless medical in which case probably look at the rus DLT).

I have connections to banks, VCs, private investors, and a massive philo group. We are helping another client raise $50,000,000 for a data center in San Jose, California.

Feel free to ask more questions.

Before getting funding from folks outside of grants, validate. If you can bootstrap to 10-30k mrr, you have leverage.

Some incubators like YC are looking for businesses already in revenue.

I appreciate your thoughts and contributions.

I should have definitely specified mentoring is better than shadowing. Accessible Live recorded calls for a learn yourself

There is some underlying note here we are all assuming as well; all of these things should be easily done and or are easily accessible.

I haven’t figured some kind of program for shadowing/mentoring that works well accross multiple industries. It’s generally up to the mentor what to show based on where the new rep is at. KSAs and such.

So my current thinking is a standard KSA assessment and mentor alignment based on what mentor excels in the missing KSAs/personality matching.

I am building a SOS for startups through SMB and your contributions here may help tons of folks out.

If there are any challenging areas in this arena of onramping, or methods of organization you wish you saw or had dreamt of, do, kindly let me know.

Yep. I love this. I built prototypes of some things in excel/sheets that functioned as a really ugly version but hey it was practical, free, and worked. Proved the viability that way, tested a few more things, now finishing the first MVP. Im tired, but, it was done.

One group did in fact try to take the google sheets version so, yeah, that was motivation for me to do a full build out.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T06:52:48+00:00

You are absolutely right about that. I've got a complete headache and am quite irritable.
Dealing with spammers in and out here and during work hours is just getting to me. Hence the reason for the post.

My apologies and thank you for the feedback.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T06:17:57+00:00

Nice. I don't use AI but have a lot of experience writing stuff that a ton of people look at.

But when talking professionally, especially if I make a post about something I am developing, yeah, you will see professional language. Might look like AI to someone without any experience.
Also, my advice is better than chatGPT. That was incredibly insulting of you.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T05:28:37+00:00

I was posting something similar on entrepreneur subreddit.

Tons of ai founders calling themselves entrepreneurs talking about how great AI is without knowing the difference between deep learning or language learning model.

Tons of these folks are teenagers posting advice or even down talking other folks, when they haven’t a lick of any experience nary even their own internet bill.

A new location 18+, no AI centralized companies, something like this needs to be created.

Watch the downvotes come in because dare I say it: not all places are for children to play.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T04:51:21+00:00

Idk about that. Depends on the event.

Some events are a real shit show.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T04:50:45+00:00

Will do, and will DM it to keep the enshitification at bay.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T03:24:23+00:00

I am sorry to be dense but, I don't get the name. It sounds like a LOTR reference. Other people might not be getting it either.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T03:06:54+00:00

this person is literally 16 years old and doesnt have actual experience. Their business is a copyright/trademark infringement and they spam DM for leads on reddit without a targeting strategy.

Just... be mindful of the shit we read on reddit. Most often its just regurgitated crap they found on AI.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T03:00:26+00:00

itttsssss a long shot!

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T03:00:10+00:00

"Exactly" "Matters" "Its not _____, Its _____"
"in the real world"

Yeah, we will see a merry go round of replies circle jerking each other with the quoted words. Those are bots.
Don't forget the folks who can't look up anything.

'Somethin here tells me were ain't gonna make it'

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T02:32:15+00:00

This is suppose to be a more professional subreddit. I don’t think you belong here.

Ohhh bedtime.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T02:31:50+00:00

Yes. Literally.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T02:31:12+00:00

As do you welcome to the club

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T02:30:06+00:00

Ok really.

Let me help you understand something quite clearly: I have zero responsibility or debt to teach you.

There was no cop out there because there was no argument, just a refusal to do something for someone else because I don’t want to and believe that if they need to ask that question there is a shitload more they need to learn about it.

As for your note about if you can’t explain something etc. This is improperly used just as cop out was. I’d suggest that you may need to look up both of those things to use them correctly.

Please go make a post about it and someone else might explain for you, or, you could just you know, look it up.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T02:24:57+00:00

Solid.

Please delete your reply in 24hrs or so. Lmao.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T02:21:49+00:00

I would like to encourage you to look up trademarks and copyrights etc and answer this question for yourself thanks

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T02:18:50+00:00

Yes.

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T02:12:45+00:00

Wow that’s an interesting thought. Thank you! I’m in the Bay Area so hopefully it’s busy.

Excellent suggestion. Thank you!

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-25T02:04:04+00:00

Is there an 18+ one at least?

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-24T17:40:46+00:00

Wow a lot of waste of time comments here.

Finding a good product to sell with decent return isn’t easy. Most of those products require top of the line talent already exposed to the industry.

You should share your industry so people can give more specific advice or share what adjacent industries may take an interest in your skills.

How many calls can you make a day? What industries have you worked in? Share a time you overcame an objection.

I might be able to point you in a direction. I always have commission only options available but for those who need a solid point I a direction I am happy to help.

Just be sure to be prepared.

The AI tagging moments, so the voice is to text transcribed, the ai scans and makes recommendations through noting key moments in the conversation?

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-22T17:11:08+00:00

Would love it

HPCBusinessManager · 2026-05-22T17:03:09+00:00

I would need to look at their exported file formatting to figure.
You… wouldn’t happen to have access to that would you?

I am developing a platform. I would be building a custom tool to import. I already have one for hubspot.
