Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Mark Evans DM that advises founders/entrepreneurs who say they "can't raise money" to actively pursue investors: ask how many people they have spoken with and how many presentations they've made, implying that lack of outreach—not lack of investor capital—is often the real problem.
See if you're trying to raise money and you're like, mark, I can't raise any money. No one has any money. Okay, I hear what you're saying. However, how many people have you talked to today to talk to them about the opportunity to get money? Have you. How many presentations have you made? Well, none. Well, how do you expect to get money if you're not talking about money with people that want to invest money?
