5 Things you need before you go Seeking Funds for your Startup
1️⃣ Financial Model for the next 2-3 Years (Cash Flow Statement) mapped against operating metrics
2️⃣ 10-15 Slide Pitch Deck with Introduction of the Business, the Team, the Idea, Market Size, GTM, and ask of funds
3️⃣ Wish List of Investors and the order in which you wish to pitch to them - start with smaller investors so that your pitch is refined by the time you get to the big guys
4️⃣ Valuation Worksheet - confidential internal working on how competitive startups have been valued at each stage, and how much have they diluted in each round - thus, the expected range in which you would prefer to value yourself
5️⃣ A Data Room maintained on Google Drive or any such cloud storage platform with separate folders for Finance, Legal, Tech, and an index linking all of those documents and records for easy access by an investor at the Due Diligence stage.
