Even with the growing focus on sustainability and innovation, many entrepreneurs struggle to find financial support. I know just how tough it can be to secure funding in New Zealand. Building relationships and showing the value of our vision was key to overcoming challenges. Investors want to see more than just a good idea, they want to know there’s a clear plan and a dedicated team behind it. The funding process can be daunting, but it also offers chances to learn and grow. Each pitch and conversation has taught me to be resilient and the importance of having a strong network.

A lead investor not only provides a significant portion of the capital but also sets the valuation tone, boosts credibility, and attracts other investors. Their mentorship, network, and strategic guidance can be invaluable beyond the financial contribution, often making the difference in successfully closing a funding round. 😃 Remember, securing a lead investor is not just about the funds; it's about finding a partner committed to your vision and growth.

The only purpose of a VC fund is to make 10x or its multiplier for his LPs. Period. That's the only way to survive the business they subscribed to. Entrepreneurs should not confuse this with stories of passion, impact, perseverance blah.. blah... sold in the conferences and podium. This worldview will all start making sense when you see their portfolios, thesis, team, and approach. Don't fall for delusions of impact and stories of passion. It's BS. Here is an example of Big Daddy of private equity in business who wants to reverse the climate crisis. They own everyone. Including the VCs who call themselves Impact mafias and peace gurus. #climatechange #privateequity #vcs #entrepreneurship #startups

There is a huge problem with Shark Tank. And most people don’t understand that. When you see startups getting investments one after the other, you get swayed away. You feel that even you can make anything and you will end up getting funded. But what you don’t realise is that funding is not the final output of company building. Building a company is not as you see on TV. It's about the sweat, tears, failures and patience that was poured into every aspect of the business. In fact, even before you go on the stage of Shark Tank, there is a huge amount of preparation, resource allocation and capital investment that went behind it. While funding does give motivation, the real challenge is in the day-to-day grind, late nights and making tough decisions. Entrepreneurship is not about the funding rounds or being in the spotlight, but building something from scratch with a solid foundation. A true entrepreneur focuses on leaving an impact!
