The problem of financing solutions

1, for guidance.

Investors, especially angel investors, are often bosses in the industry or successful former entrepreneurs. They have the vision to choose projects and naturally have the ability to cultivate projects. Their professional advice on products and technology, or their experience and thinking on company management, business model and strategic direction are priceless to startups, far more important than money.

2, access to resources

Or take angel investors as an example. They have resources other than funds, including but not limited to government, media, talents, market channels and the channels for the next round of financing.

In order to support early projects, angel investors are often willing to provide these resources to entrepreneurs. In fact, many entrepreneurs choose employers based on these resources.

Step 3 get support

Even if angel investors don't provide guidance and resources to entrepreneurs, they still have their value, that is, endorsement. A famous investor voted for your project, which shows that your project has been recognized by a celebrity.

As long as investors are willing to disclose financing news, you will get a shining publicity point. Even if investors are unwilling to disclose information publicly, you can still use the investor's name as a strong guarantee in a small-scale conversation.

4, speed up

Perhaps its own funds are enough to support the steady development of the project, so is it possible to use double funds to make the project grow wildly? While you are still hesitating, your competitors may have adopted this strategy.
