My 6 best tips for raising early-stage funding
1. Surround yourself with good people


2. Do your homework and know your numbers


3. Challenge your pitch – do a testrun


4. Look at funding as a recruitment process: don’t put all eggs in the same basket


5. Don’t be afraid to be transparent


6. Think of your Funding Plan & if it resonates with your heart
