The Secret of Raising Money – Seth Goldstein & Michael Simpson – Value $149

You can raise money easily…
You just have to know the rules….

I opened the email and my heart rate skyrocketed. The message read:

“Hey Seth and Michael – I’m in for $200,000. I will sign and wire by Friday. Excited to be on board.” [investor name redacted] Friday came… and Friday went. But no money showed up in our account…

Days later, the investor who sent the email told us he had to withdraw…

I was stunned. Seth was not…

See, I had assumed that when investors commit in writing, it means you will receive money. Not so. Thus began my education about how fundraising really works, and when I learned for the first time (of many) that “It’s not over until the money’s in the bank…”

My name is Michael Simpson. I’m a co-founder of DJZ and the co-author of The Secret of Raising Money, which I wrote with Seth Goldstein…

Seth has raised $100m over the last twenty years, has sold two companies, co-founded Turntable.fm and was Fred Wilson’s first EIR. So I was lucky to learn fundraising at the heels of the world’s best…

“Seth Goldstein: the master fundraiser”
“Seth Goldstein has been a master fundraiser since I met him in the mid 90s. He has finally gotten around to sharing his secrets with the rest of us”

FRED WILSON, CO-FOUNDER OF UNION SQUARE VENTURES
Instead, we rely on blogs to help us understand what fundraising is like. But here’s the thing:

Tech Bloggers Create The Illusion That Fundraising Is Easy…

“Payments Startup Clinkle Raises $25 Million Seed Round…”

“Music platform Splice nets $2.75 million…”

When you read the tech press, it seems like everyone is raising millions of dollars all the time. That there is too much money to go round. That all startups are literally swimming in cash…

Reality is very different. The odds of you raising money from any given VC fund are around 0.5%…
For 3 years, Andy Dunn, CEO Of Bonobos, was 30 days away from being unable to pay his rent and 90 days from his company running out of money. He managed to stay afloat by raising tiny angel checks from 100+ angels.

The AirBnb founders famously sold cereal boxes in order to stay afloat…

Despite what the media will have you believe, raising money is a complex game with a specific set of unwritten rules. These rules can be broken, but if you walk into the process unaware of what they are, you stand very little chance of being successful….

I’m based in San Francisco, and many of my friends are entrepreneurs. Any time one of them goes out to raise money, I watch as the fundraising process takes over their life. Product development grinds to a halt…

The big questions they struggle with are always the same –

“What should go into a pitch deck?”
“How much I raise?”
“When is the right time to raise?”
“How do I meet investors?”
“Should I use equity or debt?”
“Should I use AngelList?”

And most importantly: “How do I turn conversations with investors into what I need the most: money in the bank?”

Even after all those questions are answered, I hear this: “But I’m not well known! No VCs have even heard of me…”

I learned the answers to all these questions from Seth as I worked alongside him…and that’s why we decided to write The Secret of Raising Money….

You Don’t Have to Be Well-Known to Raise Money

I wasn’t well-known either when I started worked with Seth on fundraising at DJZ. In fact – I didn’t even know the first thing about fundraising. But after he taught me the ropes I raised hundreds of thousands from VC’s and angels within a few weeks.
And I started teaching friends how to do it too…

Now, Seth and I have decided to teach even more startup founders. That’s why we’ve written The Secret of Raising Money…

“Crucial Strategies”
“The strategies I learned from Michael were crucial to kickstarting my angel round at Crowdsporting. If you want to master fundraising, buy The Secret of Raising Money”

ERIC MARTIN, FOUNDER OF CROWDSPORTING
What if….

You could reduce the time you are spending on fundraising by 45% or more?

You knew how to get meetings with top investors quickly, and you knew exactly what to say to them to get them interested?

You had access to the collective knowledge of the best minds in Silicon Valley?
