When fundraising for your next climate round, it’s easy to get distracted. Shiny Object Syndrome is a death sentence for every climate tech founder. The 3 powerful changes I’d make in your shoes: 1?? Remove all the distractions. This means all the trends, irrelevant people, training / business advice you’ve been hoarding… …if it hasn’t given you actual value in the last 3 months, get rid of it.? 2?? Pick one SMART goal. A SMART goal is something???pecific,???easurable,???chievable,???elevant, and???ime-bound. Meaning, you can’t just say “I want to raise money.” Instead, say “I want to raise our first $50,000 in the next 6 months by pitching my business to 100 investors.” If you make SMART goals and commit to them, you’ll be on your way to building a decade-long business. 3?? Stick to it for the next 3 months. That’s the hardest bit. Your goals mean NOTHING if you don’t stick to them. — Your attention is your biggest asset. Use it wisely. — How do you stay focused?

Great to be a part of the "Data-Led Decision-Making" roundtable panel at ClimbUK. Here are some key insights from today's conversation: ?? With a plethora of information and insights available, it can be tricky for GPs and fundraisers to navigate through the investor/LP landscape and focus on what information is relevant to them. ?? Having high quality investor data is the only tangible point of differentiation that enables fundraisers to determine the course of their capital raising efforts and experience. ?? Integrity of data infrastructure at any level of business is the key to identifying early-stage problem-solving and spotting viable scaling opportunities. Thanks James Mason for hosting, and Luca Budello & Paul Connell for providing industry insights. Thanks Gordon Bateman for the panel invite.

Recently attended a breakfast meeting where Sharmadean Reid MBE and Victoria Prew (Hurr founder, recently raised $10 million) discussed in’s and out’s of fundraising. Takeaways: 1. Understand future trends for investor attraction. 2. Focus on circularity in your business model. 3. Embrace the access-over-ownership trend. 4. Highlight founder-market fit and credentials. 5. Master selling, negotiation, and persuasion. 6. Strategically approach aligned investors. 7. Publicly announce fundraising efforts; you never know who has the means to splash that cash :)

Excellence has a new name and a powerful strategy…

CREATIVE COMMUNICATION IS KEY TO FUNDRAISING This is my fifth input as Linkedin "Top Fundraising Voice": In line with the key strategic communications principles of "Transparency" and "Alignment" that I mentioned earlier, I provide precise and well-substantiated resources to my sponsors, donors and investors. I have developed cutting-edge fundraising toolkits for all my companies & platforms -- XZEN, CIRCLE X, PLANET GOLD and RADARTEC -- composed of graphically-engaging websites, decks and social media posts clearly articulating my personal and organizational visions. As a result, I consistently break capital-raise records to finance my operations, projects and events. By doing so, you can also outstand your competition in a highly-competitive market with an excessive number of events and start-ups, and just a handful of serious sponsors and investors.

“The key to driving inclusive growth starts with recognizing and valuing the trust local organizations have established with communities, and then building on that foundation to help them succeed and grow.” This sentiment expressed by Patrick Davis of Community Reinvestment Fund, USA summed up the cross-cutting theme of the second Mastercard #StriveUSA Summit in #WashingtonDC on April 17th: At a time of rapid technology innovation and unparalleled federal investments in small businesses — no one organization or even sector can enact change alone. Discover more about the critical role local organizations can play in leveraging the billions of dollars in federal investments in communities and small businesses here: https://bit.ly/4dnkXic #InclusiveGrowth #FinancialInclusion #SmallBusiness

This is a point worth making again and again - solutions have to start at the #local level. Women-led small businesses thrive when they have strong #ecosystems to support them. #StriveWomen #SmallBusinessMonth #FinancialInclusion
