Top Lessons I Learned From Raising Funds
Fundraising is for go-getters, don’t waste your time and get ready!
First things first, how did I get involved with fundraising?
I was finishing a one year and a half mission in the Silicon Valley developing a French hardware company. Back then, I created my consulting company called my MVP and me to support early-stage startups. I help B2B companies triple sales on new markets in one year with optimal use of their resources.
I was looking for a new mission in the Valley so that I could stay there. Turns out I didn’t manage to deal with immigration issues. What I found instead, was a promising French startup addressing the water crisis with innovative technologies… Interesting!
We talked B2B strategy to address the US market together. One thing leading to another one, they asked me to support them with their fundraising…
Well, I delved deep into the topic with my strongest asset being my grit.
I moved back to Paris and started working on the fundraising.
Well well well… How did I proceed then?
