How do you raise funds before investors? What are the things they look for, in extremely young companies? It is very important to understand that a venture capitalist raises funds from limited partners (rich family offices, fund managers, pension funds, companies, etc).
So, just as a startup goes out to raise funds, even those you are trying to raise funds from also raise funds, to have money to invest in you. In other words, a venture investor is also a good fundraiser because he/she must raise funds first before the opportunity to invest funds will come. (Sure, there are those who have so much they can invest from their purses; not typical at the mainbowl.)
