The biggest reason why startups fail globally is because they do not validate their business idea or do not have a product market fit. In short they do not have customers who desperately want their products and are willing to pay for them. I addressed these key things in my previous books https://www.amazon.in/kindle-dbs/entity/author/B07JFZ29R8

Now I am planning to address the second gigantic problem that globally startups & entrepreneurs face in my new book on #FundRaising.

I want to now reach out to my network and check if you or anyone you recommend has a story to tell about your experiences on fundraising. I’m including many real-life stories in the book. That’s where you come in. I would love to hear from you or anyone who has :

-  Raised funds at any levels
-  Helped the team in raising funds
-  Crowdfunded
-  Bootstrapped to break even
-  Advised in successful fundraising

This will guide my first hand experience and understanding a non biased POV with real life examples that startups, aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners might find useful. Try not to identify folks in your storytelling if you do not have a permission to do so. e.g. prefer using

" a fun loving startup writer I know shared with me this opportunity "

instead of saying

" Ravi Kikan shared with me this opportunity " (of course then you should know Ravi very well)

Feel free to share your Do's and Don't or maybe Good, Bad & Ugly sides of fundraising experiences.
