Don’t just sit there! Start investing. The crowd funding space is a great way to diversify your #investments. We all read the amazing #unicorn stories about Uber, Instagram, etc. However, getting in early on tech startups is difficult for first time investors or smaller individuals that still want to contribute at lower levels. Crowd funding makes these very accessible to support and get in early on big ideas. Support our partner, ZNest and get in early on #SaaS with meaningful purpose.

Can cold outreach beat warm intros when raising money? The answer is yes. When it is sharp, concise and honest, it can. The best of the founders and top investors validate this. #venturecapital #startupfunding #investmentinsights #FounderWisdom #pitchperfect #coldoutreach #fundraisingtips #entrepreneurialmindset

The "Fund Raising" session organised by #RightDots was an insightful session with the speaker Neeraj Dangwal doing a great job. Here are the major learnings:- 1: Fund raising is a science with a clear structure, process and flow. 2: The onus is on the fund raiser to take control to ensure successful transactions and outcomes with the donors. 3: Your personality, ability to sell the organisation and product(cause), showing impact to the donor are key elements in the process.

We are “standing on business”. Chris Alexander deserves and has earned the right to lead the OCM. The New York State Office of Cannabis Management is making great headway. While they work countless hours, with an understaffed agency (not because they didn’t ask for staff), so much is being done. People are falling asleep. Now the “fund” is being put on pause. The issues with the fund are old. Why stop it now is the question? What changed from almost a year ago to now? Question how the removal of Chris and how the fund is being put on pause(yes it has big issues, but why are they being raised now?) correlate? It’s just seems like now the program is in the next step of going out the window. Support Chris Alexander and support New York State Office of Cannabis Management. They are holding the plane together. Wake up people and wake up fast‼️

We’ve been there: Long-term contracts you can’t cancel, negotiating prices, and giving over a percentage of funds raised. It doesn’t work for us, and it doesn’t work for campaigns. That’s why our team provides straightforward contracts and does not lock you into anything you didn’t sign up for.
