If you’re involved in growing a business from the ground up, you likely understand the significance of the old adage: “It’s not what you know, but who you know.” But what if your network is still limited?
As a founder and entrepreneur seeking funding you may have discovered that before you can grow your business, you need to grow your network. And when your list of contacts is not much longer than your friends and family members—partly because you’ve been heads-down building your business for some time now—it’s a challenge to find, attract, and get introductions to potential investors.
Join RoseRyan’s president, David Roberson, in this live presentation hosted on May 22nd, 2023 by 1BusinessWorld to discuss how to seek funding when you have a small network. This guidance is supported by RoseRyan’s 30 years experience working with hundreds of VC-backed companies.
Here are some of the areas that Dave will be exploring:
- Research who’s out there
- Ask around
- Make the CEO the main point of contact
- Cast a wide net
- Be ready before you reach out
- Have a story to tell
- Be willing to be creative
- Turn to your trusted advisors
