The Strategy of Asking Investors for Funding

Finding funding for your startup company, whether it is a software company (Like Hook Security), a Managed I.T. provider, or something completely different, is a necessary challenge to tackle. Without operating capital, your organization will be stifled and suffocate under expenses and outlays. You will be unable to hire or retain top talent, invest in research and development, or properly pursue go to market strategies. Cash truly is king when it comes to operations. Asking an investor for funds is just like any other sale – but there is a lot more on the line for winning the deal. Making sure you have a proper strategy for success around presenting your data to potential investors is a must.

I had a chance to sit down with my friend Zach Eikenberry, CEO of Hook Security, about how he has pursued funding for their operation on our webinar series, The Thursday Process. He shared some insight about how you must create a narrative to go along with your data if you hope to attract an investor successfully.
