Pre-Seed Founders: Stop Burning Runway. Raise Faster. 🚀 Fundraising at the pre-seed stage doesn't have to be a slow grind. You need to focus on impact and efficiency. ✅ What WORKS for Speed • Proof Points Over Potential: Get any traction (sign-ups, interviews, pilot data). Data speaks louder than ideas. • Warm Intros Only: Your network is everything. Skip the cold emails; prioritize introductions from trusted sources. • Clarity Sells: Can an investor understand your problem, solution, and market size in three minutes? If not, tighten your pitch deck. • Build Trust Early: Don't wait until you're opening a round to contact investors. Get feedback and build relationships now. ❌ What SLOWS You Down • Vague Vision: You must clearly articulate why you are the team to solve this specific problem. • No Metrics: Relying on 'future projections' without current validation. • Mass Cold Outreach: It's low-yield and a massive time sink. Action Item: Review your pitch immediately.
