Dispelling the Myth: Early Fundraising Strategy for Startup Success - Many startup founders overlook the importance of planning for later-stage funding rounds, focusing solely on securing initial seed money. However, experienced founders and VCs advise a different approach, suggesting that a strategy for future investments should be developed from the start. This proactive approach, especially for capital-intensive businesses, ensures a steady flow of capital as the company expands. Building relationships with potential investors early, often at least two years before needed capital, allows them to understand the business and its growth trajectory.
