Fundraising can be a second full-time job.  It can be very inefficient.  Very frustrating.  Demoralizing.  Very time consuming.  Distracting from running your business.  

Still, what other choice do you have?  Some basic tips to make it easier:

1. Foster relationships.  Network.  Build the groundwork for future fundraising efforts.  
2. Research potential investors and their interests, preferences and requirements.
3. Strategize around investors and pitch (exit in relation to round)  
4. Know who you want to invest in your company then find a way into them. 
5. Expect delays, but limit them.  Eliminate delays you cause.  Help investors reduce theirs.
6. Learn.
7. Set realistic expectations.  

Our approach for fundraising from the entrepreneur’s side was initially developed from our experiences creating and managing angel groups.

What sets Silverman Consulting LLC apart?
> I’ve been on both sides: raising money as an entrepreneur and helping angels review and invest in deals.  
> I have worked with a number of angel groups (starting several myself), so I know what each specifically is looking for and what angel groups in general like to see. 
> I don’t just help you raise money, but help you MAKE money.
> My fee structure is in-line with entrepreneurs’ budgets and does not cause conflicts of interest.
