I'll look into how to track and remove access to my slide deck. My main take aways were: *Insight into the slide deck content (mine is too complicated and graphically rich) *The importance of the story of the company (mine is too detailed regarding the problem I'm solving and how I'm seeking to solve. * Number of investment required pitches to achieve funding. * Sharing deck as a link to track views and remove access.

This is one of my favorite videos so far. I've had trouble finding truly insightful materials that explain how fundraising really works. I find so many companies with this idealistic (and mistaken) notion that they will get their 'ideas' funded, when in reality, most investors come when the business already has proof of traction. We didn't want to burst anybody's bubble, but rather help you to the point where you need to get!

[@slidebean]

😀

[@brianyoung8999]

And that puts me in the unfortunate paradox that if I had the money to get traction I would not need investors.

[@realbrittain]

Proof of traction is a lie which really means race/gender/migration-based funding, but they float the traction lie because it's illegal to say they won't fund whites.

Thanks for this! Really grounded things in reality. A quote I picked up this week was the best time to start a company is when you can no longer tolerate NOT starting it. I’ve reached that point and the business idea has matured over the years. Only problem is having the technical assistance for website / platform creation, money, etc. seed funding sounds like a great way to do that!

[@aokcreative]

It's been 8 months sincce you posted this; how did you get on? Did you start your entrepreneurial journey?

[@DillonCSK]

@@aokcreative unfortunately not - the business I would like to start is one that will require a CTO, 1-2 PR consultants, and probably a marketing/branding leader to do immediate heavy lifting. Adding little bit by little bit to the business plan to get as much done before starting a seed fund. Still learning and prepping to be a business owner and leader. Being a manager at a software / ai company and 2 kiddos under 2 limits the time I can allocate. Any tips are welcome!

[@aokcreative]

@@DillonCSK Well, if it’s any consolation, every business needs all those eventually. Maybe a CFO instead of a CTO, but still… My advice is always to start with deep research into your market. Find out what they struggle with, what they really need and where to find them. Don’t assume you know. Now is a perfect time to do that. You can chip away at it. It’s the often overlooked part of a ‘great’ business plan. May the wind be at your back. Reach out if you need any help.

I believe that Bitcoin holds value as a form of 'good money' that is superior to any previously discovered or developed form of money. The long term goal about trading here is majorly process oriented goal, protecting the trading capital, starting off with free cash and putting yourself in the right mindset to trade to the best of your ability as a business owner. Then for short term goals, monetary goal would only pressure you into trading too often or recklessly. . The process of ensuring huge wins/profit and experience got me the confidence of a true risk monitor/enterpreneur.

Not getting funding is a great way to be crushed because somebody else who raised funds beats you to market and outcompetes you. Ask yourself this: can you outcompete a team of 20 brilliant people with loads of cash and the same idea? If not, get funded and hire them so you can get ahead of others who will do the same.

I agree, Slidebean does great videos with great content. Did you start a business knowing you would need equity?

If one just started his own company, and the first costs presumably 150.000€, for what so ever need to be paid, would you recommend going directly to angel investors and present them your idea, for which you by the time have no number in place, and for which you can only come up with estimations, or would you start by collecting this money by crowdfunding, start selling and contact those investors the moment you need more capital to expand? Love your videos by the way man. So much value! Thank you!

[@ashwinkadaru]

Hey there, love the videos! This is the second time I was watching one of your videos and you said "check out a link below" and for the life of me I cant find it. Specifically at 4:55. Would be super helpful if there was a clear title: for when you make references like that.

[@CreativeunitedMy]

Thank you very much! Looking forward for the video on types of investment.

[@slidebean]

Thanks a lot for watching, we are already working on the new video!
