💡 How well do you know the investors you’re asking for investment from? Fundraising isn’t just about pitching, it’s about alignment. Ben Winn, VP content & communities at FirstMark shares a key piece of advice in our Venture Voices interview: do your research. ✅ Who have they invested in before? ✅ What themes or sectors excite them? ✅ What’s their background and approach? Many VCs openly share their investment philosophy, so use that to your advantage. The better you understand them, the stronger your outreach and the higher your chances of securing a meaningful conversation.

🚨The Biggest Hiring Mistake Startups Make? Waiting Too Long for a CFO. Many founders underestimate the importance of finance leadership early on. Without a strong financial foundation, startups risk inefficiencies, compliance issues, and missed growth opportunities. Your startup may not need a full-time CFO right away, but fractional CFOs working one, two, or three days a week, can provide high-impact financial strategy without the full-time commitment. 📩 Get in touch with Liz Waters to learn more about how a fractional CFO might be the right fit for your startup. ⬇️ Download our CFO Hiring Playbook to gain more detail on what should you look for in a CFO? #CFOhiringplaybook #vcadvice #fractionalcfo
