[Music] hello hello hello it is alex berman let me play some rock to get us all hyped up welcome to the live stream this one is going to be quite the three we've got harambe money in here he is uh fully anonymous at the moment at some point he will be uh and we will be discussing how he raised 5.6 million dollars for a company and the entire whole email system that we have put together so

that anybody can use this and people inside the group that we're people assisting through have already raised millions of dollars already in contact with people uh so it's insane the system that he came up with old email scripts that he came up with our next level so let's uh let's sit here for a second let's get some more people on the screen let me know in the chat real quick uh if you can see me right

you hear me okay um if i'm loud enough etcetera and then when i bring harambee money in here i just want everybody to be unbelievably happy i think that would be a dream come true let me get um let me get a banner up here okay how you guys doing let me know in the comments let's talk let's talk let's talk can i get this banner going maybe i'll do the um maybe i'll do that scroll

across the bottom there all right we got some people in here so with that being said comments are coming in yep all good watching from the philippines super cool to here with that being said let's bring on harambee money this next guest has raised millions for crypto startups and other startups he's now coached dozens of people to do the same inside of the winter movie group and me and him have a course together called adventure made

go through how to easily make money for startup and to teach us how to sell via cold email how to raise money be a cold email welcome harambee money harambe what's up dude yo what's up bro let's get hyped dude go for it get it let's get it man i love the intro dude i really liked it yeah man so uh yeah i mean uh it's kind of funny that uh i guess uh on twitter i'm

kind of known for for this you know kind of like raising capital thing but uh the truth is like as you know and honestly every buyer and venture may knows i wasn't necessarily brought in to that startup to do you know capital raising or even get involved in that side of things i was really brought in to uh help with influencer marketing right so uh the whole raising of capital in in web 3 right it can

happen via you know the use of influencers right in a private sale and you can just do it like that so that uh i set up kind of like the systems uh which is very similar to your cold email university system for basically getting clients right it's just that it's been adjusted for kind of getting an offer going to get an influencer kind of like yourself right to work with someone right you partner with them you

kind of share traffic and you share resources and you can get a lot done without a lot of up from investment so they brought me in for that and um they were so happy with the results and the system that you know the founder kind of asked me you know she said like oh what if you use it for something else and i'm like what's that can you get us like actual investors to put you know

institutional investors vcs maybe that can help us you know just get things going here faster right and i i said look i can give it a try uh it shouldn't be that different than you know selling a service which i've done and getting influencers uh you know let's let's do some testing so i i i pretty much uh ran like a campaign i adjusted it a few times and then 400 kind of leads later uh they

just landed their their investor who was gonna essentially fund a great part of what they needed and then find other investors because that's kind of the thing once you find one you kind of and once they fund it right you kind of have access to now a little bit of a network of other investors and after that it's kind of beyond you right they can they can continuously raise uh this wasn't a just to be clear

this company had raised capital before for another company they had but this project was completely unrelated to that so they were starting basically fresh the system that you outlined so let's let's break down kind of because people are hopping on they're new they've got no context here right so harambe raised the 5.6 the system that we're basically outlining here is it's a two-sided marketplace you're identifying companies that need to raise money and then you're identifying investors

that need to invest the money then you're writing the perfect cold email pitch for the first company and sending it to to those investors right exactly that's exactly what i did uh and uh the thing is that if if you notice all you're doing is you're basically just doing lead generation right you're building a lead generation agency but you're focusing you know instead of just focusing on an array of different niches and industries you're focusing on

getting investors right now we're going to talk about this a little later but it can work in reverse too so you can go to the investor first and then find companies for them and we'll talk about that a little later because that that's honestly uh it's the same as the flip side of the coin basically but it's the same thing but yeah you want to essentially find a company that it has some sort of traction right

and uh the more traction they have the more revenue they have to demonstrate the easier it is going to be to get an investor to be interested in in putting money in that company particularly now right it's not a few months ago particularly in the web 3 space you could get away with you know something completely unreasonable and crazy that a lot of times it didn't make sense but uh nowadays you want to find like very

solid companies i would suggest going after sas companies that have very you know healthy mrr and they're growing at a decent pace and uh you can kind of like easily find an investor to put money in and then you kind of um then you're gonna have to be very careful what you do next right but uh there's a lot of opportunities to do this right you're gonna find a lot of it's basically going to a company

and saying do you want money right the product you're selling is money so the reality is they're going to say yes i'll like i'll gladly work with you right and um you could do a couple things to uh get paid uh my favorite one is to actually um if you can obviously take uh some sort of fee at the beginning right so you can buy software and kind of keep everything running and then take a massive

bonus that you've laid out prior to uh doing the outreach so it could be like 50 to 100 000 depending on the amount you're raising right and um obviously you're gonna have to wait until you get that that round closes right and they can raise capital that could take you know anywhere between three to five months right if you do it that way right but the payouts honestly the one pay out here it's compared to like

a regular legion agency right where you're getting paid like two to three grand a month and they turn every three months right you're gonna have to do less work let's just put a dollar you know yeah yeah it's finding it's matchmaking and the other big thing that i realized talking to you is the investors have to put their money somewhere so they're on the lookout always for good deals they're always in the startups it's harder to

find the startups than it is to even find the investors and find the cash exactly and um you know one of the things that when we created venture mage we were only focusing on kind of like you know you're gonna find a startup and they're gonna quickly say yes to you and most of our guys have already found us startups to say yes right and then the the hard work is to go out and find investors

and um well the truth is a lot of investors are also looking for startups so like like i said at the beginning it's not just like companies looking for investors it's also investors looking for companies so it didn't take that you know that that long for us to realize that someone was gonna come to us and uh we're gonna basically be able to like we already have investors just inside a venture major i like that they

don't even have to go out and find investors they can just partner with with the group of investors we have and now they just need to find companies and that's it right so it really is a two-sided market and um it's it's it sounds fancier on paper than what it is it's fairly easy it's just lead generation for investors right yeah and it's all there and it's all straightforward um do you have a doc or something

like let's let's do some kind of visual gab says what's up y'all what up i'm talking about uh how to raise money so i don't have a visual i just have notes um but uh can you screen share some notes screenshot notes they're kind of boring i could probably paste them on the let's screen share some boring notes all right i'll share that with you right now okay let's go i'm excited because this is this is

a game changer everyone needs every startup founder needs money and every investor needs to park their money somewhere so this is just jumping in between those all in fact it's a you're gonna hear a lot of people say like yeah like i'm i'm against like raising capital i'm against like vc money it's completely relevant there's always gonna be someone who actually will raise the capital right they're gonna need the money so it's almost like yeah if

you don't really believe in it is completely relevant as there's a market out there you know that will gladly pay you money for this let's go okay so here's the chain of beliefs so let's let's run through this chain of beliefs what what is this what are we looking at right now so basically this is like a the this is the process that we both use to one make the well we made actually our presentation with

this this is like what how we present to investors as well like how to pitch them from the startup perspective but it's also how i pretty much structure everything uh that i want to get when i want to get a point across so if i want to convince someone i usually start with an outcome at the bottom right which is raising capital for startups is the new big opportunity in lead gen and it's only attainable about

taking our course right and then i will go backwards and say that in order to believe that one thing what else do they have to believe and uh it's it's honestly how you can build a very persuasive argument in general right so basically once i had this and this is like just to illustrate to you guys what the you know the entire process is and why does it make sense you know you got to understand that

startups need help raising capital and to just to kind of prove that you know about 40 of companies actually fail because they run out of money so there's that right that belief has been knocked down so we can move to the next one right and that's sort of like the pattern here and why i have those notes and um i mean right now when interest rates are higher than what they've been in the last 10 years

right you do have it is a lot more difficult to get money but it also makes it a lot easier for you because you can just find companies that truly qualify for this money and truly are going to be a little bit more responsible right there they have revenue and if you do you know an outreach campaign to companies like sas or even agencies and some in some and sometimes can also you know raise some money

as well uh you'll have an easy time finding like fairly conservative investors who just want to put their money in companies that are pretty healthy so it's a it's a little bit less chaotic to do it now than when it's all crazy and everyone's just handing money to a bunch of it so let's go through it at a high level yep um so what's the what's the process here how are we um what are we doing

what is venture mage how how are you raising money what's this like what's the opportunity what's going on here so first the first thing we have to do is we have to find a company that is that meets the parameters of being a healthy company so that means they are growing first of all they're they're consistently growing they have revenue and hopefully they're profitable they don't necessarily have to be profitable because uh i mean if you

really think about it you need money because you want to improve something right so it could be for a good investor if you have a good argument that you're not profitable because you're missing something right but hopefully a profitable company that's something that you're looking for okay and that's like that's fairly easy to do uh it's it's regular lead generation at this point and um you're you know at that point you have to build your own

offer as a basically a marketer who's going to help them find investors but that's the first starting point you need to find a healthy company that is growing has revenue and hopefully is profitable as well keep it going let's just talk us through it let's go yep so once you have that you need to basically turn that company's like whatever they're they're selling whatever like kind of like who the founders are and just kind of mesh

it together and create an offer and that's gonna be a little a lot of times gonna be very new for a lot of these companies because uh they're used to just talking about their services and their technology and what they do right as a marketer you're gonna realize that everything must be turned into an offer if you want to get maximum response and that's that's included when you reach out to investors so you need to turn

the company into an offer you need to turn the founders experience into an offer right and that's what we do here talk talk through that a little bit so what is that what does that look like what's that com what's an offer and how's it different from a company how does that let me actually pull up exactly venture mage i'm going to spoil it and i'm just going to go exactly through the points we go through

uh basically benchmade so we have essentially we inside of venture mage we created this thing called the offer components right and the really five questions that if you can get the founder to answer you have yourself a pretty good offer if you can't answer these questions like i would suggest you you go find another another company it's just not gonna work but if they're a healthy company you've done your your research right these five questions will

get you a pretty solid offer right so you need to know like who is it for like who are they like selling to and if if it's everyone and everything then it's you know you're dealing with a kind of an amateur company and you don't want to work with them right so uh one example could be like they might specialize in going after life insurance companies right that's just a random example right and um the next

question is what is the solution and the solution one example could be like okay so i'm going after life insurance companies and the solution is i want to get the more leads that's an example of a solution right and then the next question is what is the opportunity and the opportunity is a little bit tricky because uh essentially it describes your unique mechanism okay but it's not your unique mechanism and we're going to go over that

in a second so it describes your unique mechanism and in this fake example let's say it is a you somehow have this technology it's a dynamic database that finds when a couple has a you know a new kid right and you know if a new family starts right and you have babies involved chances are you might want life insurance right so you see i'm making a cohesive example here so it's like a you know you have

you're targeting life insurance companies you help them get more leads and the way or the opportunity by which you help them get leads is through this dynamic database of new families that you you figure it out right as a your company that's that's your technology okay so it describes the opportunity describes a unique mechanism but then the fourth um question is what is the unique mechanism and it's it's simply the name right like is it a

trademark thing or is it just something very very generic and honestly it this is the least important one because it could just be a name but if it's trademark or there's a patent that's even better and uh for this example that we have here let's call it the let's call it the family finder right that's that's our that's our trademark right that's our algorithm that we have for this this company cool so the last question is

uh kind of like what the business model is and that's simply what are the price and what are the terms right so is it a pay-per-lead model where you know you get basically a lead every time you you have to pay or is it a monthly subscription or is it a one-time fee whatever the case you have to take into consideration what this you know what the pricing and terms are right and that's that's part of

an offer right um [Music] it also includes the risk reversal so is there a particular risk that you yourself create you know because of your own product and how do you take care of that that's really what a risk reversal strategy is right if you have it's fixing the problems that your own service or solution creates if you have one you also include it here and when you answer like these five questions five questions basically you

kind of have enough ammunition to uh create this thing that we call the magic magic offer sentence right and people love this inside of the the discord for venture major because uh they started using it for just other things and the truth is it is it comes from you know basically my influence or marketing strategy right so it is used for other things and uh i've seen a lot of guys use a similar uh kind of

way to create an offer but it's essentially the same model of like we helped an ideal prospect right get a solution through an opportunity without pain hopefully you can write that alex and then the next sentence usually is that our unique mechanism has a given case study and this is really important here because if you've noticed the five questions from the top allow you to answer this sentence and if you can do this and alex you

know you're a veteran of cold email what you have here is like the most important part of cold email right you have your offer and you have your case study and this is really the foundation yeah yeah that's literally what it is but it comes from these you know five five questions and if you can answer this if you can answer those five questions and form this sentence you have yourself a good company that you can

go do lead generation for and find investors now when i was doing the lead generation process for the company and i what i've seen with some of the students as well is that uh sometimes you know investors particularly in in the technology space are not just interested in like okay i get the solution i get i get that that it works i see the case study but why they also want to just want to see who

are run who's running the company right like what's how are you relevant to the company as a founder right what experiences do you bring and that's a kind of like a another component that we have on venture majors it's like creating an origin story right and it's nothing too fancy it's not like uh you know you're not you're not writing an autobiography here it's just again answering three questions that will help uh make an origin story

and um the three questions or components are you know you need an accomplishment and that's usually i put in curly braces here the who right you need the experience or the how and then you need the pivot or relevance so how did you with this accomplishment and experience decide to go after this new thing that you call yourself you know this company that you're running why what led you to come up with this right and it's

usually a function or it's just related to your accomplishment and your experience right and i can get and i can give an example of how that works because we break it down inside of venture major we kind of break it down exactly what you need to do so like step by step but i'm kind of like free balling it here i think i think it's good to free ball it let's give it a little generic here

because yeah like he said this is all inside of adventure mage broken down step by step in the easiest possible way um are you guys hyped let me know in the chat i is this this seems like gold to me right this seems like solid gold that should be in a paid course and harambe is giving it to us for free so are you guys excited let me know in the chat if you want to keep

talking or should we should we just end the stream right now so i just shut up and not give everything away [Laughter] all right aaron lups into it we can we can keep going yeah so really the origin story and i'm let's stick with the same example of the the life insurance because the one i i wrote down because i think it's very easy to conceptually see it but uh let's see let's go to the top

right accomplishment the who right let's assume i'm the founder of this company and i used to be a vp of sales for some fancy life insurance company and i was there for 10 years and saw firsthand how hard it is to access leads in the life insurance niche right and uh how every time i found like a new opportunity it would lead to my massive increases in revenue just because i was able to like figure new

things uh how to get new leads for life insurance so i'm i'm just a veteran i i i was high up in this firm right i spent 10 years so that's that's who i am that's my accomplishment right and um my experience and like so how is like i was i was a top performer for over 10 years there and i was a top performer because i developed a system that guarantees the fastest leads in the

industry and kind of kept the secret to myself and that's how you know i became the top guy there so that's that answers the first two right and this is where it gets kind of cool so the pivot or relevance the why it's that once we put this process right into code oh so we kind of created our software here we realized we had the opportunity to get the same results i got for 10 years straight

but only this time it takes minutes right so you see like that is why this my company was created in the first place i was a i was this guy the vp of sales for this fancy insurance firm for 10 years top performer and because i invented something and then i decided to put that process to code and that's how it happened fairly quick right it's that this is just like showing them who you are it's

just building interest and um when you put that together with your offer that you already have here well you've kind of equipped the founder to uh get a lot of meetings with with investors okay so we have an offer we've turned the company to an offer and then we have the back story and we stick it together and then what are we doing once we have that written out by the way this is this is revolutionary

the way that he's broken it down like this i've never seen this anywhere before and honestly we should not be sharing it publicly yeah it's a if again like uh you know i we we went into detail like great detail and venture mage because of uh it uh money um it we really had to like get it into a system that worked and again this is a this is a derivative of an you know an extensive

you know service and influencer marketing system right that was adjusted for investors and it just worked and um the idea here is that you you're kind of equipped to build an email so as you you think we should build it like should we just put it together i think we can we can talk about it but if you guys want to actually write the email you want us to walk you through how to do it for

your business and see the exact examples in practice you got to join venture mage for that stuff yeah andrew jerry's taking screenshots right let's make it a little harder you just hop in venture mage you can see the exact emails yeah i mean we're i'm just scraping the surface like anyone inside of venture major i hope they can just they can come in from like the group so they can tell you this is like literally the

most basic of the basic components there but uh brandon same with the stock you can have this stock as a bonus uh once you join once you join venture mage and it comes with access i'll play the whole vsl in a second but it comes with access to a a a um a group private group but also an event min harambe are going to go either crazy in vegas or miami or new york we haven't decided

yet but you know gonna happen 188 more that's all we need then we'll go freaking insane spend almost all of it on the event itself probably focus on companies that have focus [Music] focus on companies that have focused clients uber started and only luxury rides at first and amazon started with only ebooks yeah exactly the more clear they are with their value the easier it'll the easier it'll be to find their customers and the easy skill

and and that's uh you know what percentage of the company what percentage of a company is receiving funding what is the percentage of account oh i think he's asking what's the um so how are you doing the uh the take so like let's say you raise a million how are you how are you doing that on the end okay so you you have several ways of monetizing this and it's really up to you and really up

to how you want to structure it right when i did it all i asked was for a signing bonus which was written in contract we provide the contract to venture people that buy venture mates basically but it is a marketing agreement because you don't want to be you don't want to be tied up in any regard or any shape or form with being an investment banker right it is it is illegal to do that what you

want to do you don't want to take absolutely no percentages right you take a fee that is fixed in contract and then you also put a bonus that is fixed in contract before you start working right and you can base it off milestones so you can say look i'm gonna help you raise five million dollars and i want you know a hundred thousand dollars now if you raise less than that you can obviously they're going to

stipulate in the contract that you get less money but if you raise if you raise 10 million you're still getting a hundred thousand dollars right the bankers they can take a percentage so they're more encouraged to raise as they go as high as they can right and um they always take a success fee that's what it's called we don't take success fee we didn't take successfully so what ended up happening is that uh we do have

a partner now inside of venturemate and uh if you are to do lead generation with them uh they're they're they're they have their licenses and everything in check so they will give you a bonus that is tied to percentage now if you go alone and you decide to go after you know companies that are if you decide to just go after startups and you help them find the investors yourself then you can't take a percentage now

if you just supply this firm with startups or companies that are looking to raise and then you know then you can take a percentage and they'll actually pay you for the lead as well they'll pay up to 1500 per lead right just actually i mean i i honestly have donald lead generation before and uh it's hard to get like you know over 500 if you're really good so that's what happens when you deal with people with

money right they're willing to pay because the deal size is just so much bigger and they would pay and some would even pay more if they're bigger i would pay more yeah someone pay more because you you'd think the myth is that these investors are just getting hounded non-stop with deals but the reality is the deals they're getting hounded with are all terrible so there's always a demand for people with great deals and they're willing so

much so that they're willing to pay for them and this is like the thing i've noticed you know almost everyone that does lead generation on twitter is so much better at lead generation than like the average like probably sales person at a bank right so like the truth is if you guys are much better than a lot of the people a lot of the people working for them so they'll happily pay you just to bring them

deals right and um we managed to secure a joint venture with uh with one or people that joined venture mage because uh they're trusting us to provide them with trained people right so that's why you kind of got kind of go through us because uh they they went through it they actually checked our program they did it they saw everything right they vetted our backgrounds and they're like yes lead generation is not this it's not actually

closing the sale is generating the leads for someone who's going to close the deal basically so you're and what we're talking about is it's getting really into that lead generation process like finding the actual deals talking to those people booking the meetings setting it all up and that's all legwork that normally they assign to interns and low-level people so those people that are being assigned those work that work are very low skill typically so by being

an expert at that uh now all of a sudden you're you're like the top deal finder for them if you do this correctly yep and also they don't they kind of don't don't want you finding these deals on your own to to be honest right there's a and you know i've heard it like there's there is a thing that about crowding the market right so uh there's a few people that are doing it not in this

industry but are doing it in the mergers and acquisitions right a lot of marketers teaching people basically a templatized version of how to do it themselves and you know they're not very happy with people just crowding their market so uh if you can work with them then they're willing to pay a lot of money that's really what it is right uh and you can do both you can do it yourself as well like you can find

your own startups go find investors on your own but you know that's that's gonna that's gonna have the highest payout it's gonna take a little longer right but you're gonna have the highest payout and in the meantime you could just be generating leads practicing for the firm and making money so you know it's like you gotta know where to lose basically you're making money both ways so that's epic do you guys have any more questions uh

for harambe while he's here how do you know how much the company raises if you aren't particularly on the pitching call so part of venturemates if you go the route of getting the company and train and kind of like finding investors for them you train them on how to pitch so i have an entire process uh inside of venture make to come up with basically a presentation that can get them the founder to not you know

screwed up and go to the next the next stage now you can go on the meetings with them and just be like a consultant that you know you'll be go basically go shadowing the founder you'll be just like another person who works there right that will know who you are um but i i went on several calls to help make sure the founder didn't like screwed up because sometimes they do right um you know a lot

of a lot of founders are are very technical people right like even if they take the role of ceo a lot of times what they do is uh build right they're usually engineers or or along those lines right so we do have a process for you to train them but the idea is that you won't close the investors for them okay let's take a couple more questions and i want to show you something uh what is

the average sales cycle from lead to conversion now this is a there's two answers to this right if you are yourself uh finding a startup or a company and then finding the investors for them if you don't charge them a retainer or take a onboarding fee it's gonna take three to four months before you get that potential massive payout of like an investor because there's due diligence involved you know we gotta it's not like they're gonna

be like oh yeah your company's great i'll give you i believe you i'll give you money right the investors will actually need to find out right now if you partner with a private equity firm uh like like we have an inventory as well which is the other way of doing this what will happen is that the private equity firm has their own fees and they'll give you a percentage of those fees as soon as they close

so it's like a normal sales cycle there so it might take like you know like a month to close that or less and then you kind of chill and wait until they do their job because they might have they have networks of like 90 000 investors right so they'll go raise the money and it'll take three or four months you already got paid on the fee and now you get paid at the end of bonus to

be it could be as high as 25 000 or more it all depends on the level of the race right and then if they find you if they get you um you know if they know that you're someone who's finding these deals consistently you could eventually end up getting a percentage or doing all this other stuff yep it just comes down to your relationship with the person whether they're willing to be the investment banker for you

etc like there's a lot a lot of hurdles you might have to jump through legally but that is something you could do yeah and and again if you partner with a firm like we have people in venture major doing now they're applying to do to do so uh honestly if you can partner with them you can do whatever you want because now you by by default you now have access to all their licenses and you know

as long as you generate leads for them you can take whatever you want exactly and once you're in there you really want to start getting a percentage of the fee because if you raise a million dollars you get 10 percent of that's 100k you know it's a lot of money i could it could add up really quick and the deals get larger like you know somebody just announced they raised 150 mil imagine you helped somebody raise

150 million dollars and you got even one percent of that or five percent of that that's a 1.5 million dollar payday right there and it's just a matter of you you know be doing your job as a lead generation expert and finding the right company right and if you can do that for a firm like a private equity firm and get them that deal they'll they'll happily fund it and they'll happily split you know the the

commission they'll get with you because that's how it usually works they'll split the commission and uh yeah there's a lot of opportunity there so let's do two more questions okay just ask how long does it take to build trust with founders and venture capital firms founders you'll build trust in like a second like literally there's people in venture mage already with founders and it took them like two weeks to get it uh venture capital firms don't

trust anyone they trust numbers so they they actually they'll like your p if they like your pitch then the next step is fairly quickly it's to look at the numbers look at the actual you know they'll do their due diligence i am usually not part of that process i and just that's where the founder and their accountants and you know everyone else just have to do their job of you know providing the necessary information you're kind

of chilling at that point until that is that goes through and then you get your money um your bonus uh average payout per deal i would say it depends on how much money you help them raise but uh if you let me let me answer that in two parts again so if you just take a percentage you can make like 30 to 40k on a good deal uh if you just if you partner with a private

equity firm and collect leads you can get anywhere between a thousand to two thousand dollars per basically companies that close into their fee so that's like a lead basically that converts to them and then you get a bonus at the end tied to their commission so that's that that's basically two ways you can get paid great so it could be anywhere from like 5k 10k 150. you might get like 5k at the beginning like like two

to one or 2k at the beginning per lead like like a normal lead generation process right but then that bonus is going to be tied to uh the successful race right and that's going to take that's going to take some time okay so here's what we're going to do now i'm going to play this video for you feel free to ask some more questions in the chat and then when we come back uh we're going to

answer those questions so let's let's go through and i will show you this epic video right now let's go everyone who says that bootstrapping is better than raising capital is wrong they just don't know how to raise it i'm about to show you how we raised five million dollars in four weeks for a brand new startup with no connections and made a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in the process this simple three-step method helped us collect

a six-figure payday by helping a startup raise 5.5 million dollars in six weeks by just sending a few messages a day now anyone can make a full-time living by applying our exact plug-and-play methods to help startups raise capital why is that well it's because startups need help raising capital running a business is simple in theory if you really break it down there's only three components one you have marketing to attract new customers towards your product or

service you have sales to be able to exchange their hard-earned cash for your product or service and ultimately you need to be able to fulfill the promise through your product or service these three components are simple enough to learn market it sell it and build it and if you have some profit left to continue this process congrats you're in business so why isn't everyone rushing to become an entrepreneur if it's that simple well you see there's

a bit of a problem for most entrepreneurs let's get back to the three components marketing in order to do a successful marketing campaign you need traffic also known as eyeballs this isn't free you need to be either willing to pay for ads pay for an influencer to shout you out or build an audience over time and time is money then you have sales if you can sell that's fantastic you're an asset for your own business but

what happens when you fill your own calendar with meetings you become capped you can't grow any further which means you need to invest money into hiring others and if you can't sell you need to hire from the beginning then you have fulfillment you could be fulfilling yourself if you're a freelancer but then who's selling for you can you do both can you grow a multi-million dollar business while doing the sales and the fulfillment chances are the

answer is no you will need to hire additional people in order to grow your business you might say i don't sell a service i sell a product great how are you going to improve it build features and support your existing customers the problem is very clear when you do the math you need money in order to scale a business but don't worry there's a few ways to get this money in fact you'll learn in a few

minutes how you can use one of these ways to make top dollars yourself so here are the ways entrepreneurs fund their businesses one is bootstrapping the founder funds it themselves using their hard-earned money the problem here is clear you will risk a lot and if you don't have a lot of money to start with you're limited by the size of your bank account the next one is friends family and fools this one is funny collect small

investments from friends and family or anyone foolish enough to risk their money or at least that's how the joke goes risks broken relationships if things don't pan out then you have debt you get to keep 100 ownership of your company with this one but what happens when the interest starts to add up plus banks hate lending money to startups then you have angel investors in venture capital the vcs these are my favorite for a couple of

reasons one they invest in exchange for equity which means that they'll own a piece of the company that makes them have skin in the game so they'll happily share resources beyond money with the founder and two they can invest a lot and bring others who'll invest even more in fact we recently reached out ourselves to vcs and managed to raise seven figures for a project in the idea phase in just six weeks it's super easy to

get investors to respond if you know what you're doing there's an opportunity to help them raise capital and the best part about this is not that you can do this for your own company to raise capital startups are so desperate for this knowledge that they'll gladly pay you six figures to help them raise capital nine out of ten startups will fail according to a 2021 cb insights report there are 12 reasons why startups fail but check

this out almost 40 of startups never even get a chance to market or get out competed by similar products they just run out of cash and have to close their doors there are 31.7 million small and medium-sized businesses in the united states and 38 of them can't raise capital but why is that it really boils down to a silly reason raising capital from vcs is just like selling a product or service to a prospect it involves

marketing sales however you need to know a very specific style of selling for investors to pour money into a startup but it's actually pretty easy once you know what you're doing in fact we were able to do it with just an email a notepad and zoom the best part we automated it all this process is also riskless because we got the startup to cover the cost of the software we needed to make this investor machine work

fyi the entire cost was less than fifty dollars a month and we raised seven figures for the startup and startups will happily pay you fifty thousand dollars plus per deal closed if you can help them raise money and i know you might be wondering it must be difficult to get investors to pour millions into a company you need to know rich people or be born rich to have that kind of access the answer is no investors

want to invest in fact they need to they're constantly competing with other investors to get a hold of a winning company in fact investors are commodity not a luxury item if they don't invest the money they have it will just rot away because of inflation or they'll have to settle for mediocre returns and that's not an option for them so people with our investor prospecting method can make a ton of money by ethically standing in the

middle of startups and investors startups need the cash and investors need to move the cash it's a win-win situation the process is super easy to follow as well have you ever sent an email to someone you know if you can do that you can also do this have you ever typed something special on a birthday card for someone if you can do that then you can also do this there's three stages to this process one is

intelligence building finding who are the right investors for your startup client then we have outreach writing effective outreach messaging that will have them booking calls with you all day and developing the right pitch to get them to send the term sheet right after the call and then there's agency which shows you how to turn this skill into a business that allows you to bring six to seven figures with just five to ten clients this part covers

how to get startup clients as well these are the exact same strategies that we use to book meetings with fortune 500 clients for our agency x27 we've generated over 100 million dollars of leads and now we're using it to raise capital for startups by now you should really be confident that helping startups raise capital is a heck of an opportunity the best part very few people are doing this right now people are letting investment banks keep

all the money because they think you need some kind of banking permit to do this with our method we also teach people how to do this without needing any sort of banking or brokerage license all you need is an email a notepad and zoom that being said if you're gonna help startups raise capital you need to be careful there are certain laws in place that prevent the average joe from partaking in this profit feast however if
