Years ago I attempted to raise money for my first company, Flowtown, with my co-founder Ethan.
You know what we did? We cold emailed investors.
We figured “We have a startup, they invest in startups... so surely they want to hear from us”, and hoped our confidence would cut through the noise.
It didn’t work. Obviously.
They didn’t even bother to reply.
So we hunted for advice and came across Naval from AngelList.
Everything he said about fundraising just… clicked.
We put it in practice and successfully raised our of fundraising for Flowtown and I later closed my Clarity.fm round ($1.6M) in just 3 days!
This process works.
I’ve taught it to over 100+ of my coaching clients and they’ve raised over $200 Million from investors.
Now I’ve made a new video about it so you can learn the process too.
It’ll be a shift in the way you think about raising funding, but if you’ve ever wanted to approach investors do not even try without first checking out this super-important video:
There’s 3 stages you’ve got to move through properly before you’ll have a chance with investors. Getting this right from the start made such a difference for me, and I know it will for you too.
1) Research
2) Track
3) Connect
If you had investors for your startup, imagine the difference it would make.
You could focus on the bigger picture, hire a team to support you, and really put some fuel into your business’ engine.
Well in the video, I pull apart each stage so you know exactly what I mean and how to take actionable steps towards getting that investment.
I even teach you exactly how to get introductions with the best investors out there for your specific type of startup.
Check it out and be sure to leave me a comment letting me know your experience with raising money, no matter how good or bad.

=====================
ABOUT DAN MARTELL
=====================
“You can only keep what you give away.” That’s the mantra that’s shaped Dan Martell from a struggling 20-something business owner in the Canadian Maritimes (which is waaay out east) to a successful startup founder who’s raised more than $3 million in venture funding and exited not one... not two... but three tech businesses: Clarity.fm, Spheric and Flowtown.
You can only keep what you give away. That philosophy has led Dan to invest in 33+ early stage startups such as Udemy, Intercom, Unbounce and Foodspotting. It’s also helped him shape the future of Hootsuite as an advisor to the social media tour de force.
An activator, a tech geek, an adrenaline junkie and, yes, a romantic (ask his wife Renee), Dan has recently turned his attention to teaching startups a fundamental, little-discussed lesson that directly impacts their growth: how to scale. You’ll find not only incredible insights in every moment of every talk Dan gives - but also highly actionable takeaways that will propel your business forward. Because Dan gives freely of all that he knows. After all, you can only keep what you give away.
