I’m BUILDING in public ➡️ my short term blue print for the SMB Capital Connector:
✅ distribute 25 sponsors/deals of various types (independent sponsor, self funded, franchisee developers, private equity funds): get a ton metrics on deals sent, convos requested, convos had, funds secured, deals closed, ratings from investors and sponsors
✅ Do a SMB investor survey - appetite, decision making process, desired returns, get into mind of investor
✅ Do a SMB sponsor (capital raiser) survey, lessons learned, deal terms and structures. Maybe separate one for existing SMB owner w dreams to acquire
✅ create a capital raising mini course or toolbox - really 101 on how to use Other Peoples Money from start to finish
✅ create buzz and lead gen: Release survey results & reports for investor and sponsors. The data bible for using OPM in all small business funding models.
✅ be honest about if it’s worth my time (kill it); if I let it live, pick ideal platform structure (stay email based, web app, community)
I’d welcome any ideas, feedback, examples of inspiration that could be valuable.
If you think it sucks: I also want to know because the haters give me motivation (I know there are plenty of you out there)
RT for support!! 😘
