In order to be successful, entrepreneurs need to use online crowdfunding as a complement to existing fundraising efforts. Remember, all
the momentum created offline propels momentum online.

● Always be fundraising
● Don’t limit yourself to the ‘entrepreneurial ecosystem’
● Follow up, Follow up, Follow upo First two days are crucial
● Build relationships with investors you speak with, even those that say no

● ASK! What do you (the investor) need to make a decision?
● Traction: Don’t stop building your company just because you’re fundraising
● Size Matters: Spend some serious time deciding what target is right for your company
● Fundraising is about finding true believers, not converting skeptics
