Capital Mindset™ Office Hours
An impactful resource for first time early-stage Founders preparing to raise a financing round
Who Office Hours are Designed For:
Raising a financing round can be an intimidating process - even for seasoned entrepreneurs. For first time Founders and many early-stage companies, the process can feel overwhelming and debilitating.
Most mature companies have access to an array of resources that can help with the process: Boards of Directors, advisors, mentors, investment banks - the list goes on. Unfortunately, first time Founders, who arguably need expertise like this the most, rarely have the resources (ie. money) to pay for it.
If this sounds like your situation, do not fear - you are not alone. As a matter of fact, this describes most early-stage founders. Over the years, we have learned that there is an insatiable appetite from first time founders for help with the financing process. While we cannot help everyone, we are still passionate about giving our time and support to the early-stage community.
We designed Office Hour with the budget-conscious, early-stage entrepreneur in mind.
This is a great solution for:
Friends and Family, Angel, Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A companies,
first time founders,
founders with a highly-technical business (ie. science, engineering, hard tech, healthcare),
owners of a family business that are contemplating taking investor capital for the first time.
Goals of the Office Hours:
We regularly meet entrepreneurs preparing for a capital raise that: have not been through the process before, are not confident that they fully understand the needs of the investment community, have never been taught how to design a successful financing process, and are not even sure what questions they should be asking. Office Hour is our vehicle to help entrepreneurs with questions such as these.
The agenda for each session can vary. However, the standard format begins with 15 minutes of prepared content, with industry professionals as guests. Following the prepared content is 45 minutes of free form Q&A with participants on the call. Please feel free to come prepared with your questions, or to just listen and soak it all in - whichever you prefer.
The content covered in Office Hours follows the Capital Mindset™ Framework that we implement in financing projects for much larger, more mature companies. The session is designed to cover the three main segments of a successful strategic financing, including many of the discussion points listed below.
Financing Step #1: Business Progress Alignment
Financing Step #2: Effective Investor Positioning
Financing Step #3 Structured Capital Markets Process
Session Result:
Listen - this is a No Brainer! You know you need the help. You know that you do not have access to the resources needed to pay for help. Office Hour is your opportunity to access professionals who have the expertise you need, and who have the desire to give first to the entrepreneurial community.
