Find the right yes to your financial needs, faster.
Join a Ready to Raise Cohort to help you refine your pitch, track feedback, and focus on what matters most in order to kick down more of the right doors - all of this to find the perfect financial partner for your growth in the right time.
Equity or debt, those holding the purse strings need to believe in what you’re building and that there is a market and profit for what you are selling. Also, that you’re capable of building an engine to make their investment great, smart stewardship.
Are you even sure you know what kind of funding you really need and what narrative to build based on that answer?
Every year hundreds of thousands of businesses fail to launch or make it to the next level because they fail to procure the necessary resources. So many founders lack the crucial skills, knowledge and guidance to acquire those resources.
We founded this program to provide the essential framework for telling your success story in a way that makes sense to whomever you are targeting… and to make sure you’re going after the right money.
We know it works because our clients consistently get what they need when they need it.
Let’s get to work.
Do I know what I want and why I want it?
It’s not just about how much you want to raise. Can you clearly articulate the purpose of the funds you’re raising and the timeline for its use and its return?
Remember that you’re selling you and your company as a sure bet to make someone’s money turn into more money… and maybe your mission matters to them as well.
How do I make my pitch the right pitch?
You aren’t selling your offering to investors. They aren’t trying to buy your app or technology or tickets to your game (when wearing their investor/funder hat, usually.) You’re pitching your business as the offering. It’s growth, it’s profit and it’s staying power.
We'll guide you in crafting a pitch that not only highlights your startup's potential but also addresses investors' needs, making them eager to invest.
How do I consistently attract investor interest?
We'll walk you through the process of validating your pitch with the right people at the beginning, which leads to the types of investors or funders you want to be talking with and those who want to be talking with you.
When we're done, you'll have a robust strategy and the initial activities happening to start drawing investor interest and securing funding.
We believe that as a founder, you should be able to chart a clear path to predictable, sustainable revenue and growth.
We understand this path. We're entrepreneurs ourselves. We know the challenges and how lonely it can feel at times.
Having worked with hundreds of brands, we've seen the everyday needs and struggles. But we've also watched them stay the course and surpass what they thought was possible. That's why we created Founder's Best Friend to bring together a community of founders who can leverage the ThriveSide framework to grow their businesses today and into the future.
It' time to stop going it alone and guessing the best marketing actions to move you business ahead. And instead be confident your have a clear path to sustainable growth.
