𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗤&𝗔 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 - 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟵 😊 Every week Tapline's team answers your questions, concerns, and challenges. This week, we got many questions about fundraising and alternative solutions. In a slow market how to impress investors and get them to send that letter of intent?👀 As a CIO and with an extensive experience in the investment field, Peter Grouev will answer this question: • Investors mindset is shifting to efficiency. In simpler terms, startups must show they can grow without burning through cash at an unsustainable rate. • Focus on customer - centric metrics such as LTV/CAC ratio, churn rates etc.. It is a big signal for investors nowadays that your product is needed and your customers are expanding their usage • Look at complementing your VC funding with non-dilutive funding options. Diversify your capital stack! Besides extending your runway, investors view this as a sign of prudent risk management. Securing financing in 2024 had shifting trends, and in 2025 will have more requirements. (Good news you can always come to us 😉)Tapline helps you become an attractive business without giving up equity, spending so much time preparing term sheets, and getting drawn with the regulations. Simply, flexible financing: exactly when you need it. Good luck and have a great day founders 🍀 Reach out to me for more detailed tips or subscribe to our newsletter https://lnkd.in/eNiZkQJi
