Our 5 best practices to prepare for your #EquityCrowdfunding launch: 1. Build a list of potential investors. This might be from scratch, or you might already have a strong customer list who want to invest. 2. Build a pre-launch funnel with a sequence such as an intro email, invitation to a webinar you’re hosting, invitation to a launch event, and an email with a link to your calendar to talk about what you’re doing. 3. Get Creative: how can you get people engaged with your offering and market to them? 4. Broaden your network - attend in-person events, reach out on LinkedIn groups or Reddit 5. Scale your outreach. Pay for digital marketing or hire an agency. Visit our Fundraising Best Practices playlist on YouTube for more best practices. https://hubs.li/Q02t0P-R0

Crafting a pitch deck for your startup is about more than just hitting the expected key notes. While the essentials—team, market, competition, financials, etc.—form the backbone of your pitch, it's how you tell your story that makes all the difference. Your deck and your pitch should be structured to build excitement and belief. That means highlighting unique advantages and anticipating questions and objections without getting bogged down in unnecessary details. Last week, five founders from our Mission Control program (https://lnkd.in/gNFtRxmf) had a chance to put these tips to use, practicing their pitches and receiving feedback from a panel of investors - including our own David S. Rose. Hop in his taxi and hear about his key pitch takeaways.

Concise, compelling storytelling is tough and it takes a ton of practice. The pitch practice sessions we've been holding in Mission Control are designed to help with exactly that: practice your pitch to time and get feedback from a panel of experts and fellow-founders. Next week we're introducing a new type of session to help entrepreneurs mobilize that feedback: the workshop. Workshops are designed to leverage the Mission Control community to help work through specific problems or roadblocks. First up we'll focus on helping a Mission Control founder define the through line for their company (see David's video below) starting with a clear, concise problem statement to guide their pitch. More about Mission Control via the link in the comments. If you're interested in participating I'd love to hear from you!

Collaboration is key not only to grow your business, but to learn from others, help one another be successful together, and holding one another accountable. Surrounding myself around others who are experts in their field is inspiring and helps me stay focused on my career path.

Here’s the secret to nailing your startup’s 1-minute pitch every single time Have you ever been asked by an investor to send in a 60-second pitch? You've probably wondered how you'll compress everything about your innovative business into that short timeframe. If you haven’t done this yet, then you’ll need to master it. I’ve delivered business pitches in 5 countries, and have listened to a ton of founders pitch. The challenge I see is most founders try to fit so much in 1 minute that they miss out on the KEY detail that investors are looking to hear. What are those key details? - Teamwork - Problem-solving - Solution & benefits to users - A Vision  - Traction - ASK Check the images I attached for a better description. Would you use this format?
