A short spoken marketing/fundraising advice clip advising startup founders to aggressively market their fundraising rounds. The speaker emphasizes persistent outreach, frequent follow-ups, many touch points, and a long attribution window for cold prospects; directs listeners to preipohype.com for pre-raise preparation.
Letting you in on a little secret here. Nobody knows that your deal exists. Literally nobody. I'm telling you that right now. If you think you've done enough marketing, I would bet a bazillion dollars that you haven't. Seriously, I know you haven't. Nobody knows who you are. Nobody cares in this space. You've got to be adamant. You've got to be reaching out to people all the time. You've got to keep following up with them. So again, I can't stress it enough. If you think you've done one email or you think like, oh, my gosh, it's been. It's been like 30 days. Like, where are all my invest? Your mindset is wrong. Flat out. Flat out. So just get into that habit. Start focusing down on lots of touch points. Be comfortable with a long attribution window. Especially if these people are cold to you, right? If they don't know who you are, why would they invest in your project right now? They don't know you exist. So keep being aggressive. Keep reaching out. Don't take no for an answer. Keep knocking on the doors. If you're gonna do a raise here in 2026, go to pre ipohype. Com. Reach out. Let's talk. Let's get you in the right mindset for your raise later.
