Fundraising Simplified: What to Show Investors at Each Stage.... Raising capital can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to. The key? Knowing what matters most to investors at every step of the journey. Here’s a straightforward breakdown from Majd Alaily: 1️⃣ Pre-Seed: Show that the problem is real and worth solving. Investors want to see a solid founding team and genuine early feedback from your target audience. 2️⃣ Seed: This is where traction comes into play. Prove there’s demand for your product and explain why your solution can scale. 3️⃣ Series A: Focus on consistent revenue growth and demonstrate how you’ll move toward profitability. 4️⃣ Series B: It’s all about scale. Show you can handle growth without losing operational efficiency. 5️⃣ Series C and Beyond: Be the market leader. Show sustainable revenue, dominance in your space, and a clear path to a successful exit. Each round has a milestone—hit it, and you’re far more likely to win over the right investors. What’s the most compelling signal you think founders can give at each stage? 💫 If you find this helpful - please like, comment & share so that it reaches founders. 📌 Check out my free newsletter and join 85000+ founders and investors community: https://lnkd.in/dWYBKyjm . #startups #vc #fundraising #funding #venturecapital #founders #investors #angelinvestors

This is insightful. However I am yet to find a pre-seed investor who is willing to fund market research, prototype building/product development, even though they publicly claim to do so on their sites and social media. It's possible that I may be looking at all the wrong places. Do you happen to know someone who's willing to bet on an IP-heavy medtech venture like ours? Kindly help us secure our first cheque.
