[Excerpt] Fundraising: From $1,000 To $1,000,000
Editor's Note: The following is an excerpt from Onswipe CEO Jason L. Baptiste's new book The Ultralight Startup: Launching a Business Without Clout or Capital.If you pay attention to the headlines about startups getting millions of dollars of funding from investors, venture capitalists, or partnerships, you might think the fund-raising process happens overnight. It all sounds so easy: Some entrepreneur with a thousand dollars in his pocket creates a great PowerPoint investor presentation, secures a few meetings with important people, and bam! A handshake, some signatures, and the deal is done.The reality is a little trickier. Fund-raising is a process, and although the right pitch might come in handy, in this chapter Ill discuss the practical start-to-finish way to think about fund-raising that will get you the money you want in the end.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/J_JMw7_yZZc/
