Corralling investors into a tight fundraising window is smart.
Cabal can help with collab email, scheduling, and target lists.

BONUS TIP: Run a tight process and momentum at all costs 
Each rd of meetings should take place within a 1-2 week timeframe. This creates competition among VCs, which is CRUCIAL for getting a favorable term sheet.
@GetCabal can be a HUGE help here

Wow is truly one of the best products I've used in a while!!
I've been using it to send SLOPE agency updates to our advisors - so, so powerful.
If you're a founder and you don't use it yet, def sign up.

Get ur investors/advisors to send referral emails to your prospects. It's:
1 - FREE
2 - Very effective

I predict a significant pullback in paid spend in favor of low CAC strategies (Outbound, SEO).
Those with a strong mix towards such channels are poised to win as their competitors try to catch up.

Your advisors are a strategic advantage.
Not a red flag.
Advisors can help with sales, marketing, recruiting, feedback, and more.
You just need to activate them.
Legal fact checks to the operational & optic objections of a messy cap table 👇

I recently learned about micro-advisor programs where companies split equity amongst a larger pool of “micro-advisors” to foster a more inclusive & diverse advisory pool.
I figured it'd be helpful to flesh out legal and ops concerns & discuss the benefits of these programs.

I read a great line in an investor update today:
"I actually think it's fantastic we have a more legitimate competitor. It's huge validation that there is something here.
Nonetheless, we will destroy them."
