Clara Technologies’ Post

Looking for advice on investability, legal structures, or fundraising? I ask the Clara Technologies Co-Founder & 🪽⚡️AngelSpark Founding Member Ahmed Arif the key to raising 9-figures of funding, the best financial advice he's ever received, and the book he swears by. "A scalable business model means that there are other jurisdictions that you can replicate it doing the same thing... so it's not heavily regulated, it's asset light, and it's not something where you need to add one to one extra cost to add extra revenue."
