投资者同情的艺术：如何2筹钱
Across all industries and sectors, funding is the lifeblood of growing ventures. But for most first-time founders, raising money beyond the initial friends and family round is an intimidating process. How do founders know they’re taking the “right money” at the right time?
Members of the Babson community found answers to their questions about funding this past Tuesday as the Blank Center welcomed angel investor齐亚德Moukheiber，首席执行官Boston Harbor Angels，for our first How 2 Tuesday event of the semester,2如何筹集资金：艺术还是科学？基于他丰富的经验，同时作为天使投资人和创始人本人，齐亚德认为，筹集资金的过程中更多的是一种艺术，而不是一门科学。对于我们的一批企业家，齐亚德的主要建议是掌握他所说的投资者同情: the art of understanding the needs of potential investors.
所以千万投资者希望在初创看什么？齐亚德·分享了他在天使投资的世界的经验，投资者宁愿不花自己的钱merely testingfounders’ ideas. Instead, when investing they look for founders who havealready validatedtheir ideas and gained traction with limited resources. In his words, “How much money can you create with as little money as possible?”
除了机智地验证你的想法，齐亚德强调装配团队为您的企业的重要性。BYNBYNI是齐亚德的主要团队建设尖端企业家的缩写Build Your Network Before You Need It.Ziad cleverly compares this concept to knowing a doctor before you’re sick; even if your venture’s rapid growth seems beyond the horizon, you want to be prepared. From his experience, these are the前10名团队成员那天使将期待看到您已经添加到你的企业，他们投资之前：
- 联合创始人
- 顾问
- 暗影顾问
- 董事
- 公司律师
- IP lawyer
- Accountant
- 首席财务官
- 影响者
- 心理学家
In a startup culture which glorifies the solo-preneur, assembling this roster can seem like a daunting task for new founders. Here are Ziad’s 3 Actionable Tips for Building Your Network.
- 反思：“Recognize your own strengths and weaknesses, and start building from there.”
- Fill out your calendar with events for your business: “Don’t expect anything, just go!”
- 走出你的舒适区：“如果你不好奇你能不能成功。”
After walking us through a timeline of the different types of funding available to founders as they build their ventures, Ziad finally answered the burning question on everyone’s mind: what is the best form of non-dilutive investment? His answer: paying customers and revenue!
