😃 IfWeRaise news & events
Our next public event - Why investors love Minimum Viable Products. And how you can build one fast with co-founder Tim Deeson.
19th June 2023 13:00 to 14:00PM.
A strong revenue generating MVP is a great way for a founder to demonstrate that there is demand for their solution, that they can find customers and that they deliver value. This is a great validation of their strategy but also their ability to execute. And if you have revenue maybe you don’t need investors (yet)?A very warm welcome to our newest founder members and also to our latest angel advisors both Jia Hong Shaw and Andrea Sinclair. We’re very pleased to say that Andrea Sinclair will also be joining Andy Ayim as a board advisor - thank you to both of them for their feedback on our recent strategy work.
Do you know a founder who could benefit from early stage product and fundraising support from IfWeRaise? Founders (and angel advisors) can register interest via ifweraise.com or drop us an email.
⭐ Three useful links
Prolific UK angel investor and solo GP Sarah Drinkwater raises a third of a fund to back 'community' startups like Monzo and Depop. That’s a broad church!
Some great pointers from HERmesa on how to be a value add angel investor. Which also sets a good bar for what founders should look for 👀
A founders guide to creating B2B sales decks. This is a useful guide, does anyone else have useful reference resources?
💭 Final thought
Shout out to IfWeRaise member Charlotte Crowther of MySnapshot who was recently interviewed on The Women in Tech Podcast, it’s well worth a listen. MySnapshot is revenue generating and has been successfully bootstrapped to date - a Minimum Viable Product case study is always inspiring to see!
Take care,
Tim and Hattie
Thanks for the shout-out Tim and Hattie! I really appreciate IfWeRaise support and community.
