How To Raise Capital for a Business Venture

How do you raise funds before investors? What are the things they look for, in extremely young companies? It is very important to understand that a venture capitalist raises funds from limited partners (rich family offices, fund managers, pension funds, companies, etc).

So, just as a startup goes out to raise funds, even those you are trying to raise funds from also raise funds, to have money to invest in you. In other words, a venture investor is also a good fundraiser because he/she must raise funds first before the opportunity to invest funds will come. (Sure, there are those who have so much they can invest from their purses; not typical at the mainbowl.)

My Response:The banks of the future will not be banks which use technology, but tech companies which offer banking services. You can apply that in every other sector.

At Egoras, they do manufacturing, but tech has provided them competitive advantages to make better, and more affordable keke.
