The Modern Capital Raising Method

Hey There,

It’s Ryan Chen here. Welcome to Capital Growth Partners newsletter. It is approximately a 4-minute read.

In today's newsletter, we are going to over:

1. The sourcing of the quality investor data

2. How to leverage tech to reach volume of investors

3. What’s the typical amount of investors meetings needed to close 1 deal

Actionable Tip

Most ventures don’t keep an active newsletter for their list of investors. 

Once they take a meeting and get either approved or turned down, that’s the end of the conversation.

Leverage a newsletter like this one to get weekly updates on the progress of your business and it doesn’t need to be fancy/pretty (It needs to be concise and straight to the point)

The sourcing of the quality investor data

This is typically the most crucial part. You’ll need to get granular with the right audience and be able to reach them. Because institutional investors' names are all publicly available - it’s simply a matter of crafting a message that aligns with their public mandate. Luckily pitchbook and many other platforms have already sourced the majority of the necessary profiles.

How to leverage tech to reach volume of investors

Using tools like the ones we laid out in the best link you're able to really target the people you want to speak to and get in front of them. For the emails make sure to build out your custom server so the capacity is there. And for Linkedin you’ll need a few accounts to hit the proper volume.

What’s the typical amount of investor meetings needed to close 1 deal?

It depends on what you're raising for and at what stage. Here are the different types in respect to each what type of business your raising for
