“What is the easiest way to raise pre-Seed financing?”

The answer is similar to Monday’s video on customer-funded business models: You don’t always need to go to external investors, you can ask co-founders to invest their time instead.

This is arguably better than getting investment for numerous reasons.

I hope you enjoy today’s vlog.

Tomorrow’s question is still open – ask me anything ��

In this video, we look at what it takes to raise an A-round in 2022. We’re looking at a full funding journey for Smitten a rapidly growing dating app from Iceland that is taking on the world. We see the full journey from Angel Round, Pre-Seed Round, Seed Round to the A-Round that just closed.

David Simonarson, CEO & Co-Founder at Smitten, tells the full funding story all the way from building a different product to doing a big pivot that totally changed the trajectory.

There are a lot of great fundraising lessons here, David and his team raised money in a different way and at a really high pace.

Tech growth stocks are down 70% or more, VCs are safeguarding every dollar they have as their last, and many describe the funding market as completely frozen right now. But that’s not exactly true. How do I know? I sit on the boards of several companies that have raised the kind of growth round that everyone is saying is impossible right now. That said, there ARE some super important differences in raising money in this downturn that were fundamentally not true for the last decade. The first thing to realize is the goalposts to get venture funding have moved dramatically….
