Managing Investor "Click-Down" Questions During Fundraising When investors start digging deeper into your business, they’ll ask more detailed and nuanced questions. This is generally a good sign—it means they’re taking you seriously. But here’s the catch: detailed discussions can lead to confusion or analysis paralysis, leaving investors less confident about investing, not more. To prevent this, you must control the frame. Answer their detailed questions?and?connect the details back to the bigger picture: why this makes your business exceptional and why now is the time to invest (not later): 1???Tie details to metrics that matter.?What does this mean for growth, revenue, and company value? For example, if discussing product features, how do they enhance virality, reduce CAC, or accelerate growth? 2???Anchor every response to business impact.?Highlight how today’s wins create tomorrow’s exponential growth. When you control the narrative, you help investors see not just the details but the compelling story they add up to. What’s your favorite way to handle detailed investor questions? https://lnkd.in/gq8sn59A

ANNOUNCEMENT!

I believe every person, every business, every nonprofit has a story, and I want to help you tell yours in a way that genuinely connects with your audience. So! Whether you're just starting out or fine-tuning your messaging, I’ll be here to share advice, offer insights, and answer your questions. Send me a DM with your questions, and if yours is picked, I’ll post the answer Monday! Don't be shy!

???Common Pitch Outreach Mistakes (and How to Fix Them)??? I get hundreds of DMs a week from founders pitching their ideas, and it’s amazing to see so many doing great things. But when I’m scrolling, your pitch needs to catch my eye in?less than half a second. Here’s some common mistakes you are making: 1???Overloading info?– Don’t overwhelm your investor with excessive information. Keep it short and simple. 2???Lack of focus on the problem?– Start by highlighting the problem you aim to solve, before presenting your solution. 3???Unclear next steps?– Always include a clear call to action. I will try share more tips and advice to help you all thrive in your fundraising journey :)

VC fundraising is on track for its worst year since 2015. (Per Forbes.) Hardly surprising, and some may say 'good riddance.' But if you're a fundraising founder, Or simply someone who feels ungrounded by 'bad' news. I have an idea for you. → Don't feel pressurized by this. Don't bail on the first bit of time off you've planned in years. Don't start questioning all your plans. Be 100% responsible for the parts of your business that you own. → And recognize that *your* 100% will only ever be part of a greater whole. So much is out of our hands. That includes both unexpected good and bad. Whichever you get, I trust that life is intelligent. I trust your business will receive the right support in the right timing. Or it will suffer if that's the exact growth *you* need. I was reflecting on some of the best things that have ever happened to me recently—and few of them were planned. I didn't spend years calculating how to achieve them. (As I shared on Monday, focusing on outcomes can be counterproductive: https://lnkd.in/di-xZX3x) → A few of them even required me to FAIL at stuff I thought I wanted. Just keep showing up. And relax. All of it is good. #mindsetshift #founders
