Conventional wisdom says this is how to raise money:

  1. Develop your pitch
  2. Contact investors
  3. Pitch them
  4. If they’re interested, they’ll offer you their term sheet
  5. Negotiate
  6. Due diligence
  7. Close

That’s how it works, right? Not always. I’ve developed a somewhat different, streamlined approach. My method compresses the time it takes to raise money and lowers the transaction costs by a considerable degree.
