Watch this video and comment now: capitalmatchpoint.com Hosted by Dave Dambro, The Capital MatchPoint, 770-433-8250, .capitalmatchpoint.com…What is going on inside the mind of the investor? Every capital seeker needs to answer that question and I’ve got a couple of key points to make on that subject. First of all, you want to realize that as an investor, especially on the professional level, you’re listening to stories for several times a day, several days a week, several weeks out of the month, months turn into years, you do the math. It’s an awful lot of presentations. So we’re looking for sisync answers to the questions we’re asking, as opposed to stories. Secondly, we’re looking for specific things and in fact the questions are generally formatted in a very pointed way to get those answers out. So, thirdly, you wanna be on guard not to oversell your opportunity your company or your companies merits. Answer the question, don’t tell a story. And fourth, when you’re asked a question, you need to be prepared to answer it. So, go over questions in advance, have a presentation, organize in your mind, and expect that question to come up. An investor, overall, really is just trying to answer this simple question, “What happens if I put one dollar in the front end of this company? What do I expect to see come out the back?” And capital seekers that keep that in mind really will know what’s going on inside the investors head. And those that have questions about the nature of …

Find Investors-How do I raise capital in this economy?

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 18:40:00 +0000

Watch this video now: capitalmatchpoint.com Hosted by Dave Dambro, The Capital MatchPoint, 941-462-2728, www.capitalmatchpoint.com…I’m frequently asked this question from our entrepreneurs, How do I raise capital given this economy? And its a good question. Theres a lot of anxiety surrounding it, so I think you want to be aware that its true. IPOs were down 85% through the years 2007 and 2008. And now, in 2009, it appears that the well has dried up completely. But dont despair. There are options. Even though the banks have pretty much cut back their lending, and investment bankers are sitting on the sidelines, there will always be entrepreneurs. And in fact, there are more entrepreneurs created in times of economic crisis than usual. I’ll give you a perfect example. Top-level executive loses his job. Highly skilled position. Got some savings. Hes got a great idea, and hes always wanted to be in business for himself. There, youve got an entrepreneur being born. On the other side of the coin, theres always investors. There are professional investors that run just like any other company, and they are in the business of providing capital. Now, the disconnect is occurring in the deal flow. So, how do you access the deal flow as an investor? And as an entrepreneur or a capital seeker, how do you get in front of the investor directly? Well, if you dont have a strategy, its like shooting an elephant with a BB gun. Youre gonna have a tough time. What you need to do is develop a …

Find Investors- what do Investors look for when making a funding decision

Sat, 03 Mar 2012 18:38:38 +0000

Hosted by Dave Dambro, The Capital MatchPoint, www.capitalmatchpoint.com, 770.433.8250…Capital seekers are often asking me how it is that we derive the criteria that we are asking for them to provide on their data sheets. Ill tell you, it goes back about 25 years for me in the business. There is something that we call the three-minute review. And this is a situation, if you can picture, capital providers are sitting there looking at deal after deal after deal. Eventually, you develop a strategy. Youre looking for key points in a business plan to decide if its going in the trash or if its going in the pile to take another look at later. And heres how it works. Basically, and not in this particular order, but were looking at these things. The number or amount of money needed. One of the primary concerns. Can we provide that amount of money? Is it within our pervue? Is that the amount we typically invest in? Secondly, what stage is the company in? A lot of companies, right now especially in this economy, are taking preference if they are in a later stage versus a start-up, although there are plenty of good ideas getting funded out there. The industry, very, very important. There are shifts in the industry from time to time. High tech may be in favor at one point, medical may be in favor at another point, and you may find right now that just plain bread and butter industries, like consumer products and manufacturing, are in favor. And look at the business description as …
