It’s a tough market RN, but it’s not impossible ✊

Picture it: August 2019. There Laura was, a determined founder with a dream and without a pitch deck. Armed with nothing but passion and a wild idea about changing the future of nutrition, she decided to shoot her shot. So, what did she do? Went on Crunchbase, found the top angel investors in New York, and messaged all of them.

Now, reality check: most people ignored her. But guess what? One glorious soul didn't. A $50,000 check was soon written, and that marked the beginning of her rollercoaster ride into entrepreneurship (cold outreach is your secret weapon - you'd be amazed at the doors it can swing open).

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Approach an investor without a pitch deck??? But what spoke to people was the genuine passion behind Laura’s idea. Her story. And an insane amount of cold outreach every single day.

Laura’s key learning? smart investors see potential in anybody. They don't follow a script; they see a person as a person. She learned that being herself in the fundraising process was critical. No sugarcoating, no saying what I thought investors wanted to hear. Just you, raw and real.

In today's market, it's tough. Investors are taking their sweet time running diligence, and funds are making fewer bets. But tough doesn't mean impossible. It means getting a little bit more serious about your levels of patience and persistence. What's critical? Being honest about your business while showcasing who you are as a leader. Your ✨authenticity✨.

So, send those emails, and remember: your unique story is your power, and the right investors will not only hear it but take the opportunity to jump aboard.
