The Raising Capital Show

In episode 148 of The Raising Capital Show, Nate Dodson sits down with Dave Dubeau to discuss how syndicators and fund managers use podcasting as a direct path to raising more capital.  Instead of chasing downloads or trying to book celebrity guests, there is a smarter approach: design your show around your investor avatar, highlight them as guests, and use each episode as a stepping stone toward accredited investor meetings. Then repurpose the show’s content for marketing outreach as an end-to-end marketing system.  This is how to structure interviews to open up investment conversations, build your authority in the investment world, and repurpose podcast content into a full marketing system. Here are some real-world examples of syndicators who used this approach to secure investments and even connect with billion-dollar fund managers.  Highlights: “Forget downloads. The real value is in interviewing your ideal investors directly.” “Podcasting becomes your relationship-building machine, not just another piece of media.” “With the right system, every episode creates trust, authority, and new opportunities for discovery calls.” Timestamps: (02:08) Why most podcasts fail to attract investors (05:27) Designing your show around the investor avatar (08:10) Structuring interviews that build trust and authority (11:05) Transitioning from interviews to discovery calls (13:50) Repurposing episodes into marketing content (17:20) Success stories from syndicators using this strategy (20:30) How podcasting becomes a top-to-bottom investor funnel 💼 For capital-raising systems that bring in investors every month: 👉https://findmoreinvestors.com/   🎧 Also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major streaming platforms. ===================================== ✅ Subscribe To Our YouTube Channel: @entrepreknew     Stay plugged into weekly insights, founder interviews, and practical strategies to build momentum as a modern entrepreneur.
