When raising a round, your mindset matters. The key is to get (and stay) in the driver's seat. Rather than start with, "What will make my business fundable to this investor?" Ask yourself, “Why do I believe my business is massively fundable?” Today on WrapText, Bobby Pinero shares how framing your company's story from within — not based on investor expectations — can make or break your fundraise. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ee2WFmV8

Why Waiting to Fundraise Could Cost You When it comes to fundraising, timing is everything. Starting the process early can be the difference between success and missed opportunities. Here’s why: 1. Market Moves Fast: Don’t miss out as trends shift and competitors enter. 2. Build Investor Trust: It takes time to nurture relationships and gain credibility. 3. Refine Your Strategy: Starting early gives you room to improve and adapt. Pro Tip: Get on investors’ radar now—even if you’re not ready to raise yet. Early connections lead to long-term success! Why wait? Your future depends on what you do today.

Recently I had a founder at one of my workshops ask me if I subscribed to the idea that there are 'better' and 'worse' times of years to raise capital. My short answer was: no Here's how I like to think about it. There will never be a perfect time to launch a fundraise. If you are waiting for all the stars to align, you'll be waiting a long time. Yes, there are a couple of windows throughout the year known to be great, but the contrarian view is that EVERYONE knows they're great, making them the most competitive times to be fundraising. I would rather have founders think about... What their company requirements are, what's happening internally within the company project-wise, what milestones they might be able to get to and arrange themselves for their fundraise based on those vectors rather than popular VC seasons. The point I'm trying to make here is that: the timing of VC's should not be the primary thing that drives your timing. It could be a secondary or tertiary thing, for sure, but don't make it the main priority. Okay, that's all!
