Successful entrepreneur and CEO, Jay Adelson demystifies the start-up process by providing advice, tips, and answering questions. In this episode, Jay discusses how to consider the amount of money you need for a project versus how much money to ask for from investors.
Jay's Chalkboard Notes:
- Investors are investing in you and your biz, not the finer details of your balance sheet
- Investors don't pay for operations per se, they pay to own a % of the biz
- It's not unethical to ask for a bit more $ than you need
- Figure out exactly what you want your deliverable to be
- What does it have to look like and how polished?
- In early stage, contracts for work should be well defined
