5 Stages of Funding: How to Close The Deal

Seed Money

So you’ve pitched your idea, an investor loves it and wants to give you resources to grow your business. Well done! You’ve just secured a big piece of making your vision a reality - and that’s a huge feat.

Now it’s time to close the deal and actually receive the funding you’ve been seeking. Remember, once you sign the dotted line and they wire the money, there’s no going back, so this next part is VERY important.

Tying up the deal in a neat bow (legally and financially) can be intimidating. There are a few things you need to have dialed to set your investor relationship up for success. You have to make sure the story you told in the pitch actually matches the reality of your business. How do you avoid losing investor trust? In part 5 of the Stages of Funding, I give you a clear road map to successfully close the deal and manage the post-funding process.

Topics Covered;

-The advantages of being polished and prepared

-How to keep the excitement alive after the excitement of the pitch dies down

-How to negotiate with clarity and confidence

-How to make the due diligence phase easier
