This is a YouTube video titled "Equity Crowdfunding: Don't Waste Money on Ads! #shorts" containing a monologue or talk from August 8, 2025, discussing investment relations and the pitfalls of using expensive advertising for fundraising in equity crowdfunding. The speaker advises on maintaining good communication with investors and cautions against treating fundraising as merely a marketing ploy.
Own your data, own your follow up. Good investment relations. Don't ghost people, you know, give updates, have a newsletter that these like, basic things. But a lot of people are just like, I thought I was just gonna run Facebook ads and, you know, now you'll get some companies that will spend, you know, $500,000, raise a million, and they want it more as a marketing ploy. If anything, you know, like they've raised money elsewhere and they're looking at more as well. We're going to get our name out there, so we might as well raise some money. That's a different conversation. That's really expensive money to be raising at that point.
