Everyone needs something. And the truth is in today’s world (and with the advent of the JOBS Act), it has never been easier to raise capital. So why do so many businesses fail in that regard? It’s all about trust. In this podcast, Dr. Donald Moine, the President of the Association of Human Achievement provides real-world tips and tools that crowdfunding issuers can use to be more persuasive and better build trust with their potential investors. Remember: when you have earned the trust of your investor, they are more likely to cut that check out to you (and again… and again… and again… etc.) If you’re an issuer seeking to raise money using Reg.A, Reg.D, Reg.CF, or ANY crowdfunding vehicle for that matter, you’re going to find this podcast useful and informative.
Listen to “Tips on Building Trust with Your Crowdfunding Investors” on Spreaker.
The importance of building trust can not be emphasized enough. Yes, today’s world is a great time to raise money, but it’s obviously not easy to do so. The key is being authentic and believable. And that’s the start of building trust. Pitchdecks are great, but many contain red flags if they’re not constructed properly. As Dr. Moine mentions on the podcast, the real question facing many issuers is whether or not they actually have a great business idea that is truly investable in the first place. If you’re trying to build a real business and not just a hobby, you’ve got to talk to people and advisors who will tell you the truth and if the truth is painful, listening to this podcast will give you some pointers on how to pivot by doing a deep dive analysis. Some call it “tough love”.
Regardless, focusing on the main benefits of your deal is a great start. But heed Dr. Moine’s advice: make sure you have the proper amount of cash to see the whole process through because the cause of most crowdfunding failure is due to lack of funding resulting from poor number-crunching estimates.
