Great insights from our Managing Partner Aaron Golbin on fundraising by getting back to the roots of business. Aaron has founded & helped lead successful startups which both raised millions of dollars in capital over multiple rounds and those where he opted to not take investors’ checks or not to raise in the first place all together. Golbin is a firm believer in what he calls the “traction-driven fundraising” approach as well as “traditional business principles to elevate building in tech,” his framework for synthesizing the core principles of traditional business and modern technology startup practices to create the most successful companies.
Managing Partner at LvlUp Ventures | 5x Founder and CEO | Lecturer & Mentor at HBS, Columbia Business School, and Cornell | 3x Forbes
For most technology startups today, the easiest way to raise capital is to acquire the mindset of a traditional business: achieve traction to survive and thrive. Recessionary periods often push founders, a group constantly expanding the edge of what can be, to center themselves around the basic principles of business success. This is especially important in a space where fluff and bubbles can cause them to stray away from those principles. If you’re currently raising, or are planning to, center your approach around acquiring traction. If you’re in-market, sell the product/service that you’ve built. Pre-launch? Build a game changing waitlist, pre-sell, or secure LOI’s. This will set you up for success in scaling your business. Why does that matter when fundraising? Because for most non-R&D-heavy startups, sustainable traction is what investors look for — it is one of the most reliable and therefore tantalizing signals indicating potential success of a team & product. We as builders can get so caught up in today’s, or in this case yesterday’s, perceived way of achieving success that we forget what the easiest road to building a successful business is: creating a revenue-producing entity. With that goal in mind, you’ll fundraise easier than ever before. That’s the power of traction-driven fundraising. At LvlUp, we review all of the thousands of funding applications we receive and attempt to add value to every founder applying, whether or not we write a check. Apply today at LvlUp.vc.
