The Art of Startup Fundraising is the groundbreaking book that offers a step-by-step guide to today's way of raising money for startups. Written by acclaimed entrepreneur Alejandro Cremades, the book includes the tools, strategies, and approaches needed to empower entrepreneurs, from formation to financing.
The author reveals the secrets behind the art of raising capital and shows how every ingredient in the process needs to be perfectly balanced in order to secure the needed capital. The book details the milestones to be achieved while launching, nurturing, and growing a startup and lists the important markers investors want and expect.
Recent regulations--most notably the JOBS Act--are making the old go-to advice less relevant, as startup money is increasingly moving online. The Art of Startup Fundraising helps entrepreneurs develop a clear business strategy based on the new realities surrounding today's financial landscape. Cremades shows how to best organize a corporate structure, enlist experienced and talented managers, and align a winning team that will attract investors.
The Art of Startup Fundraising explores the advantages and pitfalls of the various sources of capital from business loans to angel groups and beyond. The author also offers an in-depth discussion of the venture capital game and gives solid advice for identifying and engaging with prospects, as well as developing a realistic concept of how much to ask from investors. He stresses the vital importance of selecting the right investors. Knowing what to look for in an investor and the key questions to ask potential investors--even those who invest the smallest amounts of initial seed money--is vital to success.
Once momentum has been created and the ideal investor shows interest in a business venture, it is time to close the deal. The Art of Startup Fundraising offers invaluable advice for creating a completion schedule that shows all concerned parties when to expect an agreement to become legally binding. However, once a deal is closed the work isn't done. It becomes one more stepping-stone on the startup journey.
No matter if you are the founder of a startup or looking for an exciting investment opportunity, The Art of Startup Fundraising offers the must-have guidance you need.
