In order to be successful, entrepreneurs need
to use online crowdfunding as a complement
to existing fundraising efforts. Remember, all
the momentum created offline propels
momentum online.
@lindsaycwalsh CrowdfunderMX
● Always be fundraising
● Don’t limit yourself to the ‘entrepreneurial
ecosystem’
● Follow up, Follow up, Follow up
o First two days are crucial
● Build relationships with investors you speak
with, even those that say no
@lindsaycwalsh CrowdfunderMX
Online & Offline
● ASK! What do you (the investor) need to make
a decision?
● Traction: Don’t stop building your company
just because you’re fundraising
● Size Matters: Spend some serious time
deciding what target is right for your company
● Fundraising is about finding true believers, not
converting skeptics
