Strategy
Learn how to create a finance strategy to get funded.
Attract the right investors at the right time – Matching investors to your company’s stage of development is important as it sets up when you approach a specific type of investor. There are some general guidelines that can be used to set your expectations of the way you build your company and position it to successfully raise capital.
Milestone Plans that Generate Value – Entrepreneurs need a financial roadmap as well as a product roadmap in order to make financing decisions. A good financial roadmap demonstrates to potential investors that management has carefully considered the drivers of enterprise value. It also provides a means to develop strategies involving the timing of specific financing rounds and programs to enhance valuation. It is, in addition a tool to maintain control and minimize dilution. This can put the entrepreneur in the driver’s seat when negotiating with more sophisticated investors.
Learn to Think like an Investor – Investors invest in people and businesses first, and technology second. By the same token, investors don’t invest in plans; they invest in companies that are executing plans. Does your information portray your business as an investment solution to prospective investors?
Deal Negotiating Strategies and Tactics – Do not underestimate the time it takes for the capital-raising process. The more organized and prepared an entrepreneur is during the process, the faster the “deal” can be concluded. Having a strategy supported by clear plans to demonstrate value in every part of your company can achieve more quickly the results you are looking to achieve.

If we had access to the Krush Crowdfunding campaign planner before I started our campaign we would have saved so much time and effort trying to figure out what to do. This is a valuable tool and should be used by everyone looking to launch a Crowdfunding campaign. The Krush planner is logical and provides a step by step process to get the foundation of a plan together. Planning a Crowdfunding campaign just got better!

The financial models templates developed by Lyn are fantastic. They are powerful yet simple to use. The dashboard is the central input sheet and once changes are made then the workbooks automatically populates the cash flow, income statement and balance sheet. Saved me a lot of time creating formula and links for my financial model.

I am new to Crowdfunding and heard about it through some friends. I wondered what it was all about and how it works. I found the resources on this site very helpful in getting me up to speed. I particularly liked the crowdfunding primer e-books. Thank you.
