The search for funding (2)1. Make your materials: one pagers, slide deck, business plan
2. Make a list of potential funders (desk research)
3. Visit events where you can meet potential funders (field research)
4. Approach the least appealing funders first and practice
5. When you have enough feedback and confidence, approach the most appealing funders
Be critical to yourself, if you do not find investor’s interest maybe it is because of you!
