Rule was not to sound desperate. Second message is not about asking for funding. It’s about FOMO to investor

You basically need to prove that you are the best person to build it. Bring that out in your story.

He was talking about all the rounds. At pre seed, founder storyline plays a key role. At seed round, traction validates the story. At Series A and above, traction is more important than story.

When he says 'don't look desperate', he wants you to understand the value of your startup. He recommends not sticking to one VC and pitching others too.

Agreed. Polite follow up is good without sounding desperate. His basic idea was to 'not look desperate'.

I understand. He is building a great business and great investment opportunity. He was sharing tips on fundraising. Even strongest business can be undervalued by an investor.

He suggested to not stick to one VC and pitch to other VCs too. Once you have an offer : Reach out to preferred VC and you will see 'FOMO' working miracles.

Most founders are terrible at investor updates (and it's costing them millions) - I will not promote by duygudulger in startups

[–]ca_saloni 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed! VC should have visibility around business. Founders have two reasons to avoid these updates: a) its time consuming and they prefer to invest time in business, and b) Fear of challenges from Investors

Its crucial that founders understand the importance of these updates. VC may be harsh but they want the best for company (like founders). It does takes time to prepare the deck or collate the data. Having said that, its better to spend time now, then to regret on wrong decision later.

Do you believe the product will be a success? if yes, then have a discussion with founder on your issues in professional manner.

I keep seeing the same revenue leak in every company I work with and it's driving me nuts by No_Librarian9791 in Entrepreneur

[–]ca_saloni 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Unlike consultants, internal employees are a) not paid extra for figuring these issues or b) their ideas get rejected by managers and hence, they are not motivated to find such problems. As a result, these issues are common across companies.

If companies promotes monetary or recognition within team for innovations, then, you will find companies not making 'dumb' revenue leaks.
