Donated $$$ Power vs the Investor $$$   I love the question, “If you could do it all over again, what would you do?” My answer, “Nada!” I love where the good Lord has brought me and the strengthening and wisdom learned. I started Dream Funders because I recognized the fact that our existing start-up lending and investment (equity) options screen out 90% of Dreams (conservatively). Say that 3 times!!! These models bring through the best options they feel comfortable with. That does not mean the 90% set aside do not contain the next “drink umbrella.” You get where I’m going with that, I hope. Dream Funders utilizes the power of your donated dollars along with the power of mentorship, to feed and coach the hidden gems in the 90%, and to support those that just want to be their own BOSS! Ever feel that way? When you donate your hard earned money you want it to be utilized in the … well whatever your motivation is. Dream Funders takes your hard earned money, graciously diverted from how our government would deploy it, and puts it to work helping our entrepreneurs start and successfully build their Dreams! How? Thank you for asking! Through our unique model of lend and mentor, Dream Funders does not say NO to the Dream. Our Ambassadors (envision SCORE, old crusty business tycoons, ground it out and know what you’re talking about folks) are critical to our mentorship program. They will help each entrepreneur identify their business plan holes, so when we fund the Dream on a 3 year proforma, our Ambassadors can stay with them through the next 3ish years until they are commercially viable and can be graduated to a bank/cu. This then repays our capital, so Dream Funders can pay it forward AGAIN into another start-up. There is no secret sauce here beyond maybe our hip & holster mentoring for the first few years. Just a missing link not thought of before to unlock the potential companies and jobs and Dreams of the 90 percent left behind! Dream Funders competes with no one and can collaborate with everyone! Let us help you Graduate your business ideas! Please, visit our website today www.dreamfunders.org and donate by clicking the “Support Us” button. $30, $300, $3,000,000… it all matters!

Early-stage founders are, by necessity, strongly identified with their company (who they are and who the company is = one). This serves as an advantage in many ways: -> They are sensitive to the heartbeat of their company, and, almost intuitively know if something is wrong (or right). -> Use human survival instinct as a source of energy. If there is a threat, they will often do anything they can to avoid perceived 'death.' However, when #fundraising at the early-stage, it is often helpful to momentarily dis-identify from their company so they can effectively articulate their opportunity to investors. Especially on important points such as: -> Differentiation (or unique POV). -> Natural strengths and unfair advantage. We are often blind to our own excellence because it can feel so natural and seem so obvious that we don't think it special. The same thing can be said about our glaring blindspots and weaknesses. So for #founders gearing up for a fundraise, I always suggesting working with some great sounding boards and advisors who can help you step out of your business and honestly assess it: - Strengths - Weaknesses/gaps - Can narrative, networks, and salesmanship actually compensate for those gaps? - If not, what needs to change (product, gtm, etc.) materially to even have a baseline shot at raising your next round? https://lnkd.in/grZ6_ehe
